Seven reasons why Chelsea’s Premier League title is just the beginning for the Blues
Chelsea are back.
Four seasons without a league title came to an end on Sunday, with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace ensuring the Blues will wrap their hands around the Premier League trophy for the first time since 2010.
