Chelsea vs. Hull City, Premier League: Confirmed lineups; how to watch

Chelsea welcome newly promoted Hull City to the Bridge today, though Hull have not been playing like newcomers, earning seven points from their first three games, keeping three clean sheets along the way. Can they resist our free-scoring attack? Let’s hope not! Xabi Alonso has made a couple changes to the usual early mix, with […]

Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Hull City: Plot twist, but from the start

Morgan Rogers called Xabi Alonso’s halftime quadruple change on Wednesday the “plot twist”. As enjoyable as that was, if we just tell a good story from the start, we won’t need such a dramatic shift halfway through, right? That’s certainly what the voters are hoping for, selecting the usual suspects in attack, midfield, and defense […]

Chelsea vs. Hull City, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch

The highest scoring team in the first three weeks take on the team with the fewest goals conceded thus far as Chelsea welcome Hull City to the Bridge for a Saturday afternoon Premier League encounter. Chelsea lead the league (jointly with Brighton) on eight goals scored. Hull City have yet to concede; an impressive achievement […]

How should Chelsea line up against resilient Hull City?

I’m not sure anyone would’ve had money on Hull City being the last team to concede a goal in this year’s Premier League, but here we are at the start of week four with the newly promoted side the only team to have kept three clean sheets. So now it’s up to us to end […]

Official: Pedro Neto signs new Chelsea contract

Chelsea winger wing-back Pedro Neto has put pen to paper on a new contract today, extending his commitment to the Blues from 2031 to 2032. Of course, it’s not really the length of the contract that matters in these BlueCo deals (they’re all massive), it’s the presumptive payrise along with the symbolic show of commitment […]

João Pedro named Premier League Player of the Month for August

For the first time in almost exactly two years, a Chelsea player has been named the Premier League’s Player of the Month, with João Pedro collecting his award for August today. JP beat out five others for the honor, including teammate Cole Palmer, who was incidentally that last Blue to win it, back in September […]

Chelsea 6-3 Leeds United, Player Ratings: Plot twist

1. MORGAN ROGERS (8.8, sub) Rogers himself put it best, captioning a post on Instagram, that shows him entering the pitch at half time, with “plot twist”. Chelsea were subpar in the first 45, but after Xabi Alonso’s quadruple change, we were exceptional — certainly in attack. The defense (and midfield) remain a work in […]

Xabi Alonso concerned with first-half performance despite six-goal second half

It was a game of two halves, if there ever was one, last night’s win in the third round of the League Cup, with an entirely listless Chelsea down 1-0 at the half, 2-0 immediately after the half, then storming back to take the lead, 3-2, and ultimately winning 6-3. But it wasn’t just cliche […]

Chelsea 6-3 Leeds United, League Cup: Post-match reaction, ratings

A much-changed Chelsea side made a decent enough start to the game, but after about 10 minutes, that early impetus faded and the visitors started controlling proceedings. They didn’t exactly pose a great threat, but they did grab the lead thanks to a series of corners that we proved incapable of dealing with properly. Chelsea […]

Chelsea vs. Leeds United, League Cup: Lineups & Game Thread

It may not be as glamorous as last year’s FA Cup semifinal at Wembley, but games between Chelsea and Leeds are always an occasion, especially in a cup setting. That said, both sides have rotated for this League Cup third round matchup, with Xabi Alonso giving starts to some fresh faces, including young Reggie Watson, […]

Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Leeds United: Let’s get rotating!

Xabi Alonso has kept his starting lineups quite consistent, even between Premier League games and the previous round of this competition, but there’s an expectation that he will rotate a bit more today (just like Leeds United). After all, the League Cup offers the only obvious chance to do so and while our squad isn’t […]

Chelsea vs. Leeds United, League Cup: Preview, team news, how to watch

Xabi Alonso has made a pretty good start to life as Chelsea manager, winning his first three games across all competitions. But that early momentum took a hit over the weekend when it ran into the brick wall of the defending Premier League champions. In the wake of that defeat, Alonso emphasized the notion that […]

How should Chelsea line up against Leeds United in the League Cup?

It’s back to League Cup action today as Leeds United come to town. As good an opportunity as any to quickly put the Arsenal defeat from Sunday behind us. Unfortunately one thing we can’t simply put behind us is injuries, namely to Moisés Caicedo, Marco Palestra, Jordan Henderson, and Emmanual Emegha, all of whom will […]

Marc Cucurella nominated for Ballon d’Or; Emi Martínez for Yashin Trophy

The 2026 Ballon d’Or nominations were announced today, and among the 30 names for the Men’s award was one who had been wearing Chelsea Blue not that long ago. Of course, Marc Cucurella now wears Real Madrid’s white, and that certainly played a part in him earning the nomination for football’s biggest individual prize. It’s […]

Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Bank holiday

1. MORGAN ROGERS (6.7) Sunday was not a bank holiday, but unfortunately our very own “JP Morgan” had their doors closed. Palmer was around but not really working, while João didn’t even show up. Morgan did wander in for a minute or two, but after his opening goal on 71 seconds, he basically called it […]

Xabi Alonso: Arsenal defeat ‘needs to hurt in a positive way’

Chelsea tasted defeat under Xabi Alonso for the first time yesterday, losing 2-1 to the defending Premier League champions, Arsenal. Given that this is now our twelfth (12th!) successive match against the Gunners that we’ve failed to win, losing once again at the Emirates should hardly be a surprise. Obviously, we were hoping for something […]

Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings

Chelsea made yet another lightning start to a match, scoring inside of two minutes thanks to a snapshot from Morgan Rogers just outside the area in the second phase of a set piece, which caught David Raya wrong-footed and squirmed in at the near post. Our delight quickly turned to growing dread as Arsenal set […]

Arsenal vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread

Welcome to a massive early-season showdown against the defending champions. Our recent record against Arsenal is horrendous, so let’s see if we can change that a bit today. Unfortunately, Moisés Caicedo has not been passed fit, so it’s Lavia and Reece James in midfield once again. And there’s a new trio at the back, with […]

Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Arsenal: The midfield question

It may still be just the start of the new season, but some clear lineup preferences have already emerged — presumably not just for the WAGNH Community but for Xabi Alonso as well. Namely, we know that our best front-three at the moment are Cole Palmer, João Pedro, and Morgan Rogers. And we know that […]
