Things are certainly looking up for Chelsea at the moment as they enter the third international break of the season.

The Blues sit third in the league despite it being Enzo Maresca’s first season as a Premier League manager.

Chelsea are even ahead of title-hopefuls Arsenal at this stage, maintaining their place above them in the table with the 1-1 draw at the weekend.

Pedro Neto smashed home his first Premier League goal for his new club, and was a shining light in a fixture where many individuals were up for the occasion.

A lot of the big dogs off the pitch were in attendance at Stamford Bridge for the London derby, including owner Behdad Eghbali.

It has been no secret those in charge have been keen to be hands on at times, often seen entering the dressing room after games.

According to London World, Eghbali did this again, however this time was not flanked by his sporting directors as he normally is.

The report goes on to say that he was actually one of the last to leave the dressing room too, clearly having something to say to someone after what has been seen as a positive result for his side.

Rift between Eghbali and Todd Boehly continues

The news comes in spite of reports this year that there has been a major rift formed between Eghbali and co-owner Todd Boehly.

The pair were last spotted together at the win over West Ham at the London Stadium, however what comes next between the two of them remains to be seen.

What is agreed on by both owners is how they view the current setup under Maresca.

It has been reported both Eghbali and Boehly are very happy with how things are going at Chelsea, something they weren’t sure if they would be saying after what was an indifferent pre-season tour of the United States.
