It's countdown to matchday for Chelsea and Enzo Maresca! Here on the dedicated football.london daily liveblog for the Blues, we'll be all over the latest from around the club ahead of the game.

The new boss spoke to the media for the first time overnight so we'll have all the fallout from that ahead of the clash against Wrexham on Thursday morning. Elsewhere and it's all hands to the pump on transfers.

Trevoh Chalobah is one of the big topics after he was left out of the club's pre-season tour squad for the trip to America. There are suggestions that he is still keen to try and force his way into the manager's thinking despite this clear message from the powers that be.

Conor Gallagher will have a bigger chance to do that himself when he meets up in USA but for now it is Atletico Madrid chasing him with reports of a second bid, and a much bigger one at that, to come from the Spanish giants. Outgoings seem to be the order of the day as well with Djordje Petrovic's future now in doubt too.

Coming in and Nico Williams remains a target, as does Samu Omorodion. The pair are two of the most hotly linked attackers with Chelsea currently but there's still talk of moves for Ivan Toney, Victor Osimhen, Desire Doue, and a new goalkeeper too.

We'll have all of that and much more to come throughout the day. So settle down, get yourself a drink, and join us for all the Blues news.
