Profile:

Chelsea have been a very successful team in recent years due to a very big cash injection by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. With the money they have signed some top players from all over Europe and alot of those players helped Chelsea to their first title win in 50 years when they won the 2004/2005 season. Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been touted as one of the best managers in the world and he was appointed last year and they went on to win the title with him in charge. Chelsea have started bringing in some young English talent including Joe Cole and Shaun Wright-Phillps naming two. Chelsea have got of to a great start this season and some say that they have already won the title because their arch rivals for the title have all got of to average starts. Chelsea are now considered a dominate force in England now and few would predict that they won't become a dominent force in the World.
