Hull City 0-4 Chelsea, FA Cup: Post-match reaction, ratings
There was plenty of attacking impetus from both sides at the start, with Hull threatening first, then Chelsea wasting several presentable chances through Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto. Mamadou Sarr announced his presence in defense with a goal-line clearance, then raised eyebrows with a glorious long ball to Estêvão, who shrugged off a defender, rounded […]
Hull City vs. Chelsea, FA Cup: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to Hull City, and welcome back to Hull City for head coach Liam Rosenior. Any fond memories can wait however; we’ve got a win and a place in the FA Cup fifth round to get first! Both teams have been dealing with extreme fixture congestion for weeks on end, so we’ve got a bit […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Hull City: Half rotation
Both managers are expected to rotate their teams for tonight’s FA Cup fourth round match between Hull City and Chelsea — not because this game isn’t important, but because both teams are coming out of grueling stretches of fixture congestion, while dealing with injury and other massive games coming up soon. The WAGNH Community are […]

Hull City vs. Chelsea, FA Cup: Preview, team news, how to watch
After a dozen or so games as interim manager at Derby County, Liam Rosenior got his first proper job as a football manager when he was appointed Hull City boss in November 2022. He had spent his prime years at Hull as a player back in the 2010s, so it was a lovely little homecoming […]
How should Chelsea line up against Hull City in the FA Cup?
It’s FA Cup weekend and Chelsea get the fourth round festivities started with a trip up to Hull City. The Tigers are among the best teams in the second division — currently fourth — and there’s added narrative pressure with Liam Rosenior returning to face the club where he played for five years and would […]

Chelsea 2-2 Leeds United, Player Ratings: Please keep pushing João Pedro
1. JOÃO PEDRO (7.6) I’m not sure what makes João Pedro’s upper back so inviting for defenders to put both hands there and then blatantly push away on it, but whatever it is, I hope it just keeps happening. So, another penalty won, another goal scored, and (what should’ve been) another secondary assist on the […]
Liam Rosenior hoping Marc Cucurella won’t be out ‘too long’ with hamstring injury
Marc Cucurella was surprisingly substituted at half-time in yesterday’s game against Leeds United, with young Jorrel Hato coming on to replace him. It was a confusing change at the time — and it’s hard not to imagine that things would’ve gone a bit better in the second half if Cucu were still on the pitch […]

Liam Rosenior looks for positive trends in ‘bitter pill’ Leeds United draw
Chelsea contrived to drop two points to Leeds United last night, two points that could prove quite costly in the race for the Champions League spots for next season when all is said and done. Thankfully, Manchester United then also proceeded to drop two points to West Ham, so the immediate damage isn’t too big […]
Chelsea 2-2 Leeds United, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
It took a little bit for the game to get into gear, but after a tiny bit of threat from the visitors early on, Chelsea established control and set about breaking down Leeds’ back-five. While we weren’t able to do so too often, we did create a few excellent opportunities and put together some very […]
Chelsea vs. Leeds United, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
It’s time for some football under the lights on this drizzly Tuesday night, with some old foes coming to town for the first time in about three years. There’s plenty of history between these two sides, with lots of memorable matches, so let’s make tonight a forgettable experience with a straightforward win. Liam Rosenior has […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Leeds United: Not the time to take it easy
A derby in all but name, the visitors will certainly be up for this one at Stamford Bridge tonight, so Chelsea will have to match them not only tactically but also in terms of energy, effort, and determination. And that hasn’t always been the case for us when facing “lesser” teams — Leeds are only […]

Chelsea vs. Leeds United, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
Winners of four straight, Chelsea come into the final third of the season as one of the hottest teams in the Premier League. Only Manchester United have collected more points over the past five games — that one extra point has them one point ahead of us in fourth. Below, a four-point gap has opened […]
Official: Paul Green leaves role as Chelsea’s Head of Women’s Football
Paul Green, a key figure in Chelsea’s rise to the very top of women’s football in England, has left the club, today, with an official statement confirming his departure after thirteen (13!) years of dedicated service to the organization. It’s a fairly brief and rather formulaic statement that doesn’t exactly befit his accomplishments and legacy, […]
How should Chelsea line up against Leeds United to keep stacking Premier League wins?
My favorite (American) football team just won the Super Bowl. A guiding philosophy of their young head coach is “stacking”: stacking opportunities, stacking good plays, stacking good decisions … stacking wins. It’s not a unique or revolutionary idea — not sure there are any truly revolutionary ideas left in motivating professional athletes — but it […]

Wolves 1-3 Chelsea, Player Ratings: A Cold front moves through
1. COLE PALMER (8.6) This is only the second Man of the Match this season for Cole Palmer, who admitted in post-match interviews that he’s not been fully fit at any point all season. And despite the hat-trick, he’s still not fully fit, which isn’t too surprising given the nature of his injury and the […]
Tottenham Hotspur FCW 0-2 Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Post-match reaction
A Chelsea Women team eager to rebound after losing back to back matches to fellow title contenders. It could have been a recipe for disaster, especially against a Tottenham team who have been fairly competent this season. While we brought on the early pressure to score, it was the hosts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium who […]
Tottenham Hotspur FCW vs. Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Lineups & Game Thread
There isn’t a moment in recent times where Chelsea Women most needed a boost like today’s. Facing Tottenham at their big stage is momentous on its own. And to have that game after back to back losses to Arsenal and Manchester City in the Women’s Super League, stakes are even higher. Nothing else but meeting […]

Cole Palmer sets Premier League and Chelsea records with latest hat trick
Chelsea wrapped up Saturday’s win over Wolverhampton Wanderers before the referee’s whistle had even blown for half-time, thanks to two penalties and a wonderful team move — all three finished off expertly by Cole Palmer. The three goals give the 23-year-old 51 for his Chelsea career (114 appearances) — the 41st player to reach that […]
Tottenham Hotspur FCW vs. Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Preview, team news, how to watch
It’s been a while since Chelsea Women last lost back to back matches in general. In the Women’s Super League it’s an even rarer occasion, as we need to go back to the 2015-16 season to find it. But then, what’s the purpose of lingering over this with a match just around the corner? Title […]
