Defending Premier League 2014-15 Champions Chelsea had a dominating 8 points lead over its closest competitors Manchester City last season. Out of the 38 league matches that the team played, the team came out victorious on 26 occasions and faced only 3 defeats the whole season.
Going into EPL 2015-16, the team would be not only to keep the momentum going and defend the cup successfully, but also to improve upon their performance of the last few matches. Chelsea, lost their winning momentum a bit in the end of last season and drew and lost a match in their last three outings.
The biggest shock of the season was that one of their only 3 losses came in the second last match of the season and that too a 3-0 loss against West Bromwich, a club which was not even in the top 10 of the Premier League standings.
Here is a brief look at Chelsea, its fixture, transfers and squad for the season 2015/16.
