The draw for the Champions League group stage is nearly here.
Chelsea will be watching on with real interest as they find out the challenge that awaits them as they return to Europe's biggest stage.
The Blues missed out on the Champions League last term after finishing outside of the top four, however a productive season under Maurizio Sarri has seen them reclaim their spot.
Sarri's side finished the season by winning the Europa League and they'll have aspirations of reaching the latter rounds of the elite competition this time.
Here we take a look at the best and worst case scenarios for Frank Lampard's Chelsea side.
Pot one
Liverpool
Chelsea
Barcelona
Bayern Munich
Paris Saint-Germain
Manchester City
Juventus
Zenit St Petersburg
Chelsea cannot face any of the teams in pot one as they themselves are in it.
That means they avoid the likes of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus in the group stage, although they can still be handed an extremely tough draw going on the teams in pot two.
Pot two
Real Madrid
Atletico Madrid
Borussia Dortmund
Napoli
Shakhtar Donetsk
Tottenham
Ajax
Benfica
There could be some interesting matches in here with the likes of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Napoli all posing real tests.
Tottenham are the only team the Blues cannot face as rules states that you cannot play a team from the same country in either the group stage or the round of 16.
Pot three
Lyon
Leverkusen
Red Bull Salzburg
Olympiakos
Club Brugge
Valencia
Inter Milan
Dinamo Zagreb
Bayer Leverkusen, Red Bull Salzburg, Valencia and Inter Milan are joined by Lyon, Olympiakos, Club Brugge and Dinamo Zagreb who all came through their play-off ties.
There are some big teams in this pot as well, meaning that Chelsea will be undoubtedly face a big challenge.
Pot four
Lokomotiv Moscow
Red Star Belgrade
Genk
Galatasaray
Red Bull Leipzig
Slavia Prague
Atalanta
Lille
Chelsea will no doubt fancy their chances against most sides in pot four, especially if they're hoping to progress to the later rounds.
However with sides such as Lille, RB Leipzig and Galatasaray there's always a chance of an upset.
Best case scenario
Chelsea
Shakhtar Donetsk
RB Salzburg
Genk
The obvious choice for supporters from pot two would be Shakhtar Donetsk, thus avoiding two tough games against the likes of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid or Napoli.
There are also some good teams in pot three and many will want to be drawn against RB Salzburg given the Blues beat them 5-3 in a pre-season friendly at the end of last month.
Then in pot four you're looking at Genk, Red Star Belgrade , Slavia Prague.
Worst case scenario
Chelsea
Real Madrid
Inter Milan
RB Leipzig
Real Madrid had a summer to forget but you still wouldn't want to be drawn against them in the group stage.
However, some may believe the teams are destined to be drawn together since Eden Hazard swapped Stamford Bridge for the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer.
Chelsea could also come up against another familiar face in the group stage as they could be drawn against Antonio Conte's Inter Milan from pot three.
In pot four, Atalanta or Red Bull Leipzig will more than likely be the teams all clubs want to avoid, although Lampard's side couldn't come up against the Italian said if the Nerazzurri are in their group.
