One point from two games to begin the English Premier League season is obviously not ideal for champions Chelsea. It’s not panic time yet, even after a 3-0 loss to title rivals Manchester City last weekend.
The Blues got some positive news ahead of the match, as the club confirmed they signed Pedro from Barcelona for about $35 million.
