Match Fit
Five names, one question: who actually turns up fit and firing under Xabi Alonso? Chris and Joe run through the Chelsea players with most to prove this pre-season — Cole Palmer's search for his old rhythm, Levi Colwill's fitness after a lost year, Romeo Lavia's now-or-never moment, Josh Acheampong's fit for that back-three role, and Pedro Neto's alarming underlying numbers from last season. There's also a tribute to Ken Bates, the chairman who bought Chelsea for a pound and built the foundations for everything that followed.
