Chelsea and Spurs aim for improved Premier League season without European ties

Chelsea and Tottenham begin the Premier League season with new optimism after disappointing performances last campaign. Both clubs are free from European competition, which might allow them to focus more on domestic fixtures. Chelsea has a new manager, Xabi Alonso, and revamped their squad after finishing 10th last season. Likewise, Spurs, under coach Roberto De Zerbi, also look to improve on their prior finish. Historical data suggests that teams typically see an increase in points and league position after a season without European commitments, with Chelsea and Spurs hoping to replicate similar success from the past.
