Liverpool legend, Graeme Souness has predicted the position Chelsea will finish next season on the Premier League table under their new manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Chelsea finished in the second half of the Premier League table last season.
The Blues will not play European competition this 2023/24 season.
However, Souness, who believes the 2023/24 season will be difficult for Pochettino, expects Chelsea to maintain the same position this season like last term.
“It’s a very difficult job for the manager at Chelsea this year,” Souness told the Sky Bet Fan Hope Survey.
“I look at that club, and the direction they’ve gone – it just seems to be a mismatch of players that were available and very expensive.
“Chelsea was paying a premium, because of their reputation and standards. I don’t see them doing any different than they did last year.”
