Chelsea seems now to be full of so many good players that they can&#8217;t possibly all get a run-out every week.<\/li>\n<li>Will Todorov be up to Premiership standard? He was awesome in the First Division, but this is a whole new league (haha!). I also note that he was injured in training today.<\/li>\n<li>Will Beattie have to play second fiddle to Phillips at Southampton &#8211; or will they be the dream team?<\/li>\n<li>And, as they said when they sold me that endowment policy, past performance is no guide to future returns.
