How should Chelsea line up against Aston Villa on Day After Boxing Day?

A strangely, and almost uniquely quiet, Boxing Day in the Premier League — just one fixture, fewest since 1982 — will lead to busy day of Day After Boxing Day (not an actual thing) fixtures, including Chelsea hosting high-flying Aston Villa at the Bridge on Saturday night.

Nicolas Jackson bags brace for Senegal at Africa Cup of Nations

It’s a rarity, but Chelsea do not have anyone from the current first-team playing at the Africa Cup of Nations. We do have one prominent loanee in action, however, with Nicolas Jackson leading Senegal’s latest bid for continental supremacy. The Lions of Teranga reached back-to-back finals in the 2019 and 2021 (well, 2022) editions of […]

Newcastle United 2-2 Chelsea, Player Ratings: St Reece James’ Park

1. REECE JAMES (8.1) Reecey started the comeback in the opening minutes of the second half, scoring with a most wonderful free kick to underline what was yet another excellent performance from the captain in both midfield and at right back (he switched to the latter position after Enzo replaced Malo Gusto).

Liverpool FCW 1-9 Chelsea FCW, Women’s League Cup: Post-match reaction

Liverpool have been devastated by injuries this season. Something that made their 1-1 draw to Chelsea Women a month ago even more surprising given the extreme lack of options that Gareth Taylor has at hand in challenges like a Blues side in title defence mode.

Newcastle United 2-2 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings

Well, this game started badly, and almost immediately it got much, much worse. Newcastle needed a response after their derby defeat last weekend against Sunderland, and respond they did.

Newcastle United vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread

Welcome to the weekend. The next few hours will determine whether it’s going to be a good one, or a not-so-good one. Come on you Blues!
