Chelsea kick off their Europa Conference League journey on Thursday as they host Belgian club Gent at Stamford Bridge.
A standout performance from Cole Palmer helped the Blues secure a 4-2 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion over the weekend, marking their fourth consecutive win.
Despite pre-season doubts fueled by ongoing off-field issues, Chelsea have silenced critics, with Enzo Maresca delivering an impressive start since taking over from Mauricio Pochettino.
