Chelsea has only one pre-season match left before their Premier League campaign begins against Liverpool on August 13. On Sunday evening, the Blues secured the inaugural Premier League Summer Series trophy with a 2-0 victory against Fulham. The goals were scored by Thiago Silva and Christopher Nkunku in the first half. This match marked Chelsea's fourth pre-season game in the United States, resulting in their third win.

Mauricio Pochettino and his squad face a different challenge in Borussia Dortmund, marking the final match of their pre-season tour. The real test begins with a tough match against Liverpool in the Premier League's first weekend. Time is running out for Chelsea to secure Moises Caicedo from Brighton before the 2023/24 season begins. Despite three offers being rejected, negotiations continue, and there is hope for a deal before the summer transfer window closes, though it may take time. Brighton is firm on their £100 million asking price for Caicedo, while Chelsea is trying to negotiate a lower fee. The 21-year-old midfielder is keen on joining Stamford Bridge and has already agreed on personal terms with the club. Before pre-season, Chelsea fans were worried about their midfield situation due to the departures of N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. However, the performances of a certain player during the warm-up matches have provided optimism to the supporters.
