Chelsea vs. Luton Town, League Cup: Confirmed lineups; how to watch
The skies are blue and so is the colour. Let’s get some Carabao in our cup. League One side Luton Town are in … town. Xabi Alonso has rotated a bit, though not nearly as much as one might have expected given the opposition and our game last Monday and the Sunday coming up. Palmer, […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Luton Town: Can he play wing-back?
One of the legendary moments of our last title-winning campaign (now ten years ago, sadly) was the transformation of Victor Moses from a winger to a wing-back, to better fit into Antonio Conte’s 3-4-3 system. Could something similar happen to one of the many young wingers in the squad this season? Many have suggested that […]
Official: Nottingham Forest sign Liam Delap from Chelsea
Turns out we’re not that bad in this transfer window business. Only a year after joining Chelsea from Ipswich Town, 23-year-old striker Liam Delap left the club today on a permanent transfer to Nottingham Forest. He joins the Garibaldis on a five-year contract. Delap came from Ipswich Town to Chelsea after we activated his release […]
Chelsea vs. Luton Town, League Cup: Preview, team news, how to watch
With no European football on the menu this season, we get the consolation prize of one extra game in the League Cup, having to contest the competition’s second round already as opposed to our usual entry in the next round. Thankfully, this extra game is at home and it’s against lower league opposition. One would […]

Agreement Only Talks
Leeds United to face winners of Chelsea vs. Luton Town in League Cup third round
It will be a rematch of last year’s FA Cup semifinal in the third round of the League Cup, should Chelsea progress past Luton Town tomorrow night in the second round of the competition. That’s certainly a juicy matchup with plenty of recent and ancient history to it, especially as it would be played at […]
Chelsea FCW 5-2 Real Sociedad Femenino, UEFA Women’s Champions League: Post-match reaction
Only the most optimistic of fans expected Chelsea Women to stay as dominant as they were in England and on a few occasions beyond since Emma Hayes’ departure to join the USWNT. Emma was a major piece of this but you can’t forget the strong squad she was able to keep throughout her years as […]
Aston Villa, Chelsea agree Nicolas Jackson transfer — reports
It’s been expected for a while, but now it looks to be happening for sure. According to multiple reports, including from The Athletic, Aston Villa and Chelsea have reached an agreement for the transfer of Nicolas Jackson. The overall value of the deal is said to be £65m, breaking down into a flat fee of […]
Chelsea, Aston Villa ‘in talks’ over Emiliano Martínez transfer — reports
Xabi Alonso seemed willing to give Robert Sánchez one more chance to prove himself as the starting goalkeeper we need, and not just deserve, but Bob’s disastrous display on Monday night has prompted a quick change of mind from the manager. The Telegraph report that Alonso is “prioritising” the acquisition of a new goalkeeper before […]
Official: Crystal Palace sign Axel Disasi on loan from Chelsea
Axel Disasi has completed his loan move to Crystal Palace, joining the Eagles for the season ahead, and hoping to take flight with them in both the Premier League and the Europa League under new manager Pierre Sage. I think we all would’ve preferred a more permanent arrangement, but it is what it is: a […]
How should Chelsea line up against Luton Town in the League Cup second round?
It’s a very busy first week of the season for Chelsea, with three games in the span of just seven days, Monday through Sunday. Thankfully, the middle game of the three is just a cup game against lower-league opposition, giving us an obvious opportunity to rotate the squad and manage the early workload while giving […]
Chelsea FCW vs. Real Sociedad Femenino, UEFA Women’s Champions League: Lineups & Game Thread
Chelsea Women’s new season starts on a new home ground for us with the Blues set to play cup matches — including continental ones — at Plough Lane in Wimbledon. It has almost twice Kingsmeadow’s capacity and hopefully it’ll into a fortress just as strong. This is also a good test for a squad with […]
Chelsea FCW vs. Real Sociedad Femenino, UEFA Women’s Champions League: Preview, team news, how to watch
It has been a while since we last saw the women in Blue take on the pitch. With an extremely short preseason schedule with matches in New Zealand and Australia earlier this month, Chelsea Women and manager Sonia Bompastor had two weeks to prepare for their official debut: the first leg of a Women’s Champions […]
Fulham 2-3 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Premium Ice
1. COLE PALMER (9.0) Chelsea’s new-look front three combined for five goal contributions across our three goals, with Palmer and João Pedro taking it in turns to set each other up for goals and Palmer also getting the secondary assist (unofficial stat) on Rogers’ goal. If they keep going at this rate, the “Cold” celebration […]

Deal Conte special Attentive
Nottingham Forest, Chelsea agree £45m Liam Delap transfer — report
Chelsea and Nottingham Forest have reportedly reached an agreement over the permanent transfer of Liam Delap, with the striker expected to undergo a medical in the next 24 hours. The fee is said to be around £45m, which would constitute a new club record for Forest and give Chelsea a tidy £15m profit on the […]
Aston Villa, Chelsea ‘open talks’ over £65m transfer for Nicolas Jackson — report
Aston Villa have been linked with Nicolas Jackson all summer, but it’s only now, in the final week of the transfer window that they have begun negotiations for the striker’s signature, reportedly proposing a £65m deal inclusive of all add-ons and bonuses and such. Chelsea were looking for £65m flat at least, per earlier reports. […]
Official: RC Strasbourg sign Omari Kellyman from Chelsea
Omari Kellyman’s time as a Chelsea player is over (at least for now), but the 20-year-old’s journey as a BlueCo line-item continues as he moves to RC Strasbourg on a permanent transfer. The move was made official today, booked at a reported €6m. That’s a steep discount on the over €20m Chelsea paid to Aston […]

Proposal Hmm Well
Xabi Alonso just wants the Enzo Fernández saga to be over
Chelsea tried to set a special deadline the other week and be proactive in finally settling the multi-month saga of Enzo Fernández’s future, but, predictably, that was hardly the last word in the story. Manchester City remain very much linked with our (former?) Vice-captain, presumably at a fee higher than the £120m demanded back then […]
Fulham 2-3 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
Chelsea made a dream start to the game and to the season, pressing high on Fulham’s first possession, forcing a turnover, and Cole Palmer finding Joao Pedro to finish with aplomb, 1-v-1 with the goalkeeper. There were 31 seconds on the clock: the fastest goal in our Premier League history, the fastest first goal for […]
Fulham vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to the first day of the rest of our lives … or at least the first day of the new Premier League season! We begin our journey with a short drip down to the river, to play Fulham at Craven Cottage. It’s a West London Derby, so act accordingly (i.e. be nice). Xabi Alonso […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Fulham: Back to the back-three future!
We’re at the start of a brand new era under manager Xabi Alonso, and one of the major tactical questions that we need get answered is how the new man in charge will line up. Most may be expecting a back-three, but most certainly would prefer a back-three. For the WAGNH Community, that preference is […]

Fulham vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
The Premier League is back and it’s been quite a dramatic first weekend already, with plenty of surprises and late goals and home victories (seven of the eight games played so far) to get the new season, the 35th in the competition’s history, started right. It’s like we never left! Of course, we are hoping […]
