I agree he's not a miracle worker but just having him back is a boost for the club, that's before he even does anything to the team.
Beat United at OT tonight and they'll walk the league imo. City aren't the problem they were in 2011/12.

Chelsea's issue I think is squad depth, they usually play a 4-5-1, and their starting XI's likely the strongest in the Premier League but a few injuries to players like Hazard, Mata, Ramires etc and they could find themselves in a spot of bother.

They're getting Willian apparently and they've got Essien back now too.
Essien
Lampard
Ramires
Mata
Oscar
Hazard
Van Ginkel
De Bruyne
Schurrle
Mikel
Willian
McEachran
Ridiculous depth in midfield but they still need a striker and maybe a defender. Lukaku/Ba/Torres/Moses as a strike force isn't good enough.
