• There were six goals in the first half, with all of Chelsea's four coming from talisman Cole Palmer
• Nigerian football legend Sunday Oliseh could not hide his excitement and tipped them for big things

Chelsea caught the attention of Nigerian football legend Sunday Oliseh, and he tipped the Blues to have a big season in Enzo Maresca's first year in charge.

The Blues had a managerial change, replacing Mauricio Pochettino with former Manchester City assistant manager Maresca after failing to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

The Italian has wasted no time imprinting his style of play six games into the season and also managed to quieten the media over Chelsea's bloated squad.

Oliseh tips Chelsea for greatness

Oliseh could not hide what he saw from the London side today, and he analytically applauded their performances so far this season, predicting a big future for the team.

“So far I am having so much fun watching this Chelsea side play this season. Full of movement, goals,well structured off the ball and better organised networking. They could do something this year. Don't bet against them. #Chelsea,” he wrote on his official X account.

The Blues have won four, lost one, and drew one in the league this season. They currently sit third, pending the Liverpool and Aston Villa games later. According to Stat Muse, they have scored a league-high 15 goals.

They have not sat in a top-four position since the 2021/22 season under former manager Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked by that Todd Boehly-led consortium in 2023.

Chelsea has not won the title since the 2016/17 season under Antonio Conte, and they have a real chance this season if they keep up with Manchester City and Arsenal.
