Enzo Maresca's side have returned following their recent FIFA Club World Cup heroics and have a quickfire double-header to help them prepare for next weekend's Premier League kick-off.
With new signings Estevao, Jorrel Hato, and Jamie Gittens having all now been integrated into first-team training in the last week, optimism is once again high as to what can be achieved at Stamford Bridge this season.
As for Bayer Leverkusen, it's a return to England for former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, who has taken the reins at the BayArena earlier this summer, following the departure of Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid.
Ten Hag has already lost integral midfielder Granit Xhaka, who departed for Sunderland. Jarrel Quansah and Malik Tillman have been the Bundesliga outfit's biggest summer signings; however, the Dutch boss will be under pressure as he looks to rebuild his reputation.
