Chelsea are in line for an interesting summer after their battle for European football is done and dusted. Mauricio Pochettino's men are currently five points off the top seven with two games in hand and hoping to make up that between now and the end of the season.
Meanwhile, the Blues will be making plans for the summer window, when they will likely have to sell a key player or two if they want to sign players while remaining within profit and sustainability margins. With that in mind, we have put together a potential starting XI for Chelsea next season based on recent rumours.
