Manchester City were crowned Premier League champions yesterday without having to play thanks to Arsenal’s incompetence. Chelsea meanwhile are counting the days to end the season and start the second part of their squad rebuild in which they sell a bunch of players for as much money you can get on a fire sale.

Dead rubber, much?

Either way, full strength is the order for us today. The Blues will hopefully have a chance to ruin Pep and co.’s party, especially if City have been too festive in their early celebrations.
