The mood music has changed at Chelsea after Sunday's mauling of Wolves and Enzo Maresca will be looking for another win against Servette in Switzerland tonight.
The Blues are in command of their UEFA Conference League play-off after winning 2-0 in the first leg and they followed that up by romping to a 6-2 victory at Molineux.
There was a lot of negativity hanging over Stamford Bridge after Mauricio Pochettino's surprise departure and another chaotic transfer window, which only increased after a loss to Manchester City on day one.
But the weekend rout showed that Maresca might be able to get a tune out of his expensively assembled squad and if he can keep winning then the fans will get back onside.

Servette vs Chelsea top betting tips
Chelsea are just 1/50 to qualify at Betfred and even backing them to win on the night only boosts the odds to 8/13. Servette had a few chances at Stamford Bridge and the Blues have conceded twice in both their Premier League games so backing goals at both ends could be the shout.
BTTS only pays 1/2 but over 3.5 match goals is better at 11/10 while backing over 1.5 first-half strikes pays 6/5 with Bet365.
The scorer markets offer the best prices, although it's tricky predicting who will start given Maresca has so many option in attack.
Chistopher Nkunku scored in the first leg and could come back in after only featuring as a sub against Wolves. The Frenchman is 7/5 for anytime scorer and that looks a decent price.
Heart of Midlothian vs Viktoria Plzen top betting tips
Heart of Midlothian started the season with a promising draw against Rangers but they've been in dismal form since then, losing four games in a row.
Their defeat in the first leg of the Europa League play-off against Viktoria Plzen was cruel as the Czechs scored the only goal right at the death, having rarely threatened Craig Gordon's goal.
Overturning a 1-0 deficit back at Tynecastle isn't beyond Hearts if they can hit top form again but Betfred make the Jambos 4/1 outsiders to go through and 12/5 for a win on the night.
With the tie still in the balance it could be a tense 90 minutes so I'm betting against goals, with under 2.5 strikes priced 10/11 at Betfred.
Cards look more likely and Hearts hothead Cammy Devlin is 11/5 at Bet365 to go into the book. Like Devlin, Plzen's Lukas Kalvach was booked in the first leg and he's 4/1 for another card.
Kilmarnock vs FC Copenhagen top tips
Kilmarnock are up against it in their UEFA Conference League play-off with FC Copenhagen after conceding two late goals in Denmark last week.
Killie's domestic form is even worse than Hearts' and they prop up the Premiership table after three successive defeats.
They will give it their all but it's hard to see them beating the Danes and it's no surprise to see Copenhagen as 4/6 favourites for another win.
Derek McInnes' men have been struggling to score so the best option might be a Copenhagen win to nil at 15/8.
We could see plenty of cards in this one too and Liam Donnelly appeals at 2/1 to go in the book.

Champions League draw tonight, going to be a strange one with the new format, I’ll bet it was one of the reasons for Jurgen Klopp packing the game in. Made a mistake I think in taking Arsenal to win the league with these extra games, time will tell I suppose but it’ll effect all the big clubs if they go deep into the comp.
Afternoon gents,
Much better returns on last night’s picks after a poor couple of days, O’Higgins corners came in for the night owl too which was a nice bonus!
Looking ahead to this evening and it’s Spanish corners that catch my eye…

Hmmm Madrid are one of those sides with the dreaded wingers who play on the wrong side of their good foot Hull. I like a corner dabble, but normally avoid them for this very reason, hope I’m wrong though as I see this is one of your iconic five star points 😊
Spurs and Celtic were two of the sides I loved for sticking with guys hammering to the byline on their good foot and trying to drive it across, still leading to loads od Spurs corners this reason actually.
The king of this was Navas when he was at Cittee, could almost bring your corner bet on his own!
@the master spot on.. Best to avoid them.
Completely agree with you on your point on Real Madrid Corners due to there playing style, makes it even more difficult with no focal point having lost Joselu / Benzema in recent times and now got Mbappe up top. Celtic been a dream for corners in recent seasons especially during Postecoglous reign. Hope it comes in for you Hull though GL!
With Madrid chasing game corner bet should be shoe in,fortunately they conceded early for hulls bet,Phew
Ideal start, Las Palmas playing incredibly well. NAP home on the hour mark, very well done 👌
When it comes to football tips…..Hull is miles ahead of everyone here.
Hullshaker…..you are simply the best
Not really bud,everyone has good&bad runs,maybe Madrid had scored 1st different outcome unless he knew otherwise lol
Well said Pal….the ratio of your good run as against your bad run,is the major parameter to ascertain a good tipster.
