How Chelsea FC could line up in the 2020-21 season 

Attack

Left-winger: Christian Pulisic

Christian Pulisic made quite the impression post-lockdown for Chelsea

Christian Pulisic was one of the signings of the 2019-20 season. After initially enduring a tough start to life in the Premier League coupled with a long injury lay off, the 21-year-old put in some stellar performances and finished with nine league goals to his name.

The American's showings went onto prove to the Chelsea faithful and onlookers that he is the man to replace Eden Hazard. His pace and trickery give defenders nightmares, hence the expectations for Pulisic will be high this season.

Right-winger: Hakim Ziyech

Hakim Ziyech impressed against Chelsea in the Champions League last season

Hakim Ziyech, the left-footed Moroccan, signed for Chelsea this summer from Ajax in a deal worth €40 million. Ziyech is predominantly an attacking midfielder but can also play as a winger.

The 27-year-old has come off a successful four seasons at Ajax, where he contributed 39 goals in 120 league appearances. His set-piece prowess, dribbling ability and long-range shooting make him a starter for Chelsea.

Striker: Timo Werner

Timo Werner is one of the most potent goalscorers of his age group

Timo Werner enjoyed his best goal-scoring season last year for RB Leipzig, having finished as runner-up to Robert Lewandowski in the goal-scoring charts with 28 goals.

Good start, first of hopefully many goals! 😆🔵 @Calteck10 @ChelseaFC pic.twitter.com/TgyNMpqled

The 24-year-old is one of the top young strikers in Europe, which is why Chelsea paid £47.7 million for his signature. He will face tough competition from youth product Tammy Abraham, and in-form veteran Olivier Giroud, but the starting place will most likely be his.
