  1. I don't think there are more games. These replace (some of) the friendlies and also the qualifying campaign for the next WC/Euro which would have started at this most recent international break. Now, the traditional qualifying campaign starts next year after this Nations League is finished and runs over fewer matchdays.

    But I'm glad the league action is back.

  2. Chelsea are in the Europa League.

    And it will be something Sarri has to work out. But it is easy to forget, since he is not the youngest, that he hasn't actually been coaching at this level for very long. His first Serie A experience was with Empoli in 2014. Napoli was his first time coaching a team at the top and dealing with Europe at the same time. It's a different kettle of fish to coaching in Serie C or B.

    It’s more about cover with right kind of players. So many games. Like when DSilva gets injured City will have B Silva or someone to come in. Sterling/Sane. If Hazard is out itsa problem. City though everything in place already so hard to see them not winning it. Chelsea need a few more players even if they just play the cup comps or a few games. Like if Alonso is out. 

    Yes, but it was becoming a running joke that Sarri never changed his team at Napoli. It took some new guys months to be introduced after their arrival and even the president questioned that.

    City have 3 champions league teams. But it might be close. Chelsea could also challenge after Sari gets a few more in Jan. 

    If Sarri does as is his norm, new players would be integrated into his system very slowly. Even with new buys in January I wouldn't expect to see them play much.
