Chelsea have the chance to name a record-breaking Premier League side this season

The Chelsea side has continued to be rotated in all competitions as they look to mount a real challenge in both the Premier League and the Conference League.

Enzo Maresca has led his young, hungry side to second in the league right now, with them just four points behind pacesetters Liverpool.

Plenty of players have been given the chance to impress at last. Joao Felix has started in two of the last four Premier League games, while Christopher Nkunku’s frustration at his minutes may have been slightly eased as he marked a start against Southampton with a goal.

Chelsea could name record-breaking Premier League side

One thing that has not gone unnoticed is the youthful core that Chelsea have in their side right now.

Top performers Moises Caicedo, Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez are all 23 years of age or under, with the oldest regular starter being Robert Sanchez at the age of 27.

With the plethora of young talent they have at their disposal this season, it is possible that they could name a side that would break a Premier League record.

According to Scouted, no club have ever named a side full of players that are aged 23 or under. It is a very realistic possibility that Chelsea could do this.
