Chelsea are seen as serious title contenders along with Liverpool and Manchester City for the 2021/22 season. Several experienced and young players in the side have enhanced Chelsea’s chances of getting in the mix for the title. Be it the consistent performances, the ability to stay fit and stick to the manager’s ideas, or to get opportunities in a run of games to impress the boss, the following Chelsea players are the ones to watch in 2022.

Mount has been pivotal to Thomas Tuchel’s system of player three at the back, which means that the midfield needs to cover a lot of ground and provide quality on the ball. Chelsea’s set-up and Mount’s relationship with Tuchel makes him one to look out for in 2022.
Chelsea are also heavily reliant on Rüdiger to drive forward with the ball into midfield and forward areas. He has been an immense figure in securing clean sheets, eight of which have come in games he has featured in.
James has been lethal in front of goal this season, scoring four goals — one of the highest tallies for a wingback in the league. He also produces deadly crosses, which have already led to five assists in the league so far.
However, Hudson-Odoi is young and has a long way to go. A run of games in the league during the 2021/22 campaign—given the injuries and COVID issues—could see the start of him becoming a real player, making him one to watch in 2022.

Mendy is an imposing presence between the sticks for Chelsea. Not only is he agile and robust when it comes to shot-stopping, he is also more than happy to receive the ball under pressure and play out from the back.
Mendy is currently fourth for the total number of clean sheets in the Premier League, only one behind Aaron Ramsdale and Alisson. However, he does have a few nervy moments in him, which have led to him giving the ball away in dangerous positions, a trait the Chelsea fans would be hoping to see less of in 2022.
