PSG vs. Chelsea, Champions League: Preview, team news, how to watch
Almost exactly eight months ago, Chelsea stood on top of the football world. Laid before, and beneath, our feet were the proverbial corpses of our enemies, including a certain Parisian club who had won the Champions League just a couple months prior and were the odds-on favorites to crown themselves Champions of the World as […]

How should Chelsea line up against PSG in Champions League Round of 16, first leg?
Chelsea resume our Champions League campaign tomorrow (Wednesday) night as we make the short journey over to Paris, to play the team we vanquished so famously in the Club World Cup final this summer … and who will want nothing more than to take their revenge for that upset. PSG are of course the defending […]

Chelsea drawn against Port Vale in FA Cup quarterfinals
The football gods have smiled upon Chelsea this evening, with the Blues getting drawn against Port Vale in the FA Cup quarterfinals. Port Vale are the only third division side left in the competition, and we don’t even have to travel, with the match set to be played at Stamford Bridge, the weekend of April […]
Vincent Kompany rejects Nicolas Jackson narratives, praises Chelsea loanee
Nicolas Jackson started his first Bundesliga match in three months as Bayern Munich beat Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday night to maintain their dominant position at the top of the table. It was just the sixth league start of the season for the Chelsea loanee, who notched a goal and an assist in the 4-1 win, […]

Dário Essugo feeling ‘very good’ after 8-month injury layoff, instant impact
Technically it was not a debut, though it sure felt like one, as Dário Essugo came on just past the hour mark in Saturday’s 4-2 win over Wrexham in the FA Cup. The 20-year-old midfielder had not seen competitive action since the summer, when he made three appearances at the Club World Cup. He had […]
Wrexham 2-4 Chelsea, FA Cup: The JP and Garna-show
1. JOÃO PEDRO (7.6, sub) This might be one of the lowest-rated wins in the history of the WAGNH Player Ratings, but it was a win nonetheless. JP came off the bench to inject some much needed cutting edge, grabbing the insurance goal in the final minutes of extra-time as well. He’s been in brilliant […]

Liam Rosenior: ‘We were pushed all the way by very good team’
Chelsea had to come from behind twice to beat Championship promotion hopefuls Wrexham on Saturday night, surviving the narrative forces of Hollywood documentarians to advance to the quarterfinals of this year’s FA Cup. It wasn’t exactly a vintage performance from the well rotated Blues, but we did just enough to prevent disaster against non-top-flight (yet) […]
Wrexham 2-4 Chelsea, FA Cup: Post-match reaction, ratings
The match began at a walking pace and offered little hope of any urgency, making for a rather dour and boring affair. Chelsea passed the ball around leisurely at the back while Wrexham sat back with all eleven behind the ball, observing it all without breaking a sweat. Wrexham finally got a kick a quarter […]
Wrexham vs. Chelsea, FA Cup: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to this FA Cup fifth round showdown between the Champions of the World and the Champions of Hollywood! The Blues are favored against the Championship promotion hopefuls, but the locals have already taken a couple big scalps this season in this competition, so we will have to be careful. Both sides have rotated their […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Wrexham: Rotate ‘em all!
The dilemma facing head coach Liam Rosenior for today’s match against Wrexham is just how much he can afford to rotate. It’s important that we progress in this FA Cup competition as well, but in terms of priorities, it still pales in comparison with our attempts to finish in the top-five in the league and […]

Wrexham vs. Chelsea, FA Cup: Preview, team news, how to watch
One could argue that in terms of a global audience, this might be a rather high profile FA Cup fifth round matchup. Wrexham may be from the lower leagues, but they have a relatively large following in the United States thanks to the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ docuseries that has followed the team’s acquisition by Ryan […]
How should Chelsea line up against Wrexham in the FA Cup?
This may be one of the higher profile matchups in the FA Cup Round of 16 this weekend, as Chelsea travel to North Wales to take on Hollywood-famed Wrexham AFC, but for the Blues, this game could be seen as a reprieve amid a run of massive fixtures against top-class opposition. After back-to-back games against […]
Aston Villa 1-4 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Teamwork makes the dream work
1. JOÃO PEDRO (9.6) JP said that the hat-trick was a dream come true for him in Chelsea blue, and he certainly deserves the plaudits for his excellent center forward play. But all the goals were a result of some excellent team play — including Palmer’s, on which JP was credited with the assist — […]

João Pedro just living the Chelsea dream with his first Premier League hat-trick
The hat-tricks just keep coming along, with João Pedro joining the party and scoring our third hat-trick of the past month (all three away, incidentally). It’s the 24-year-old’s first Premier League hat-trick. With 17 goals in all competitions now on the season, JP has a chance to be our first striker to reach the 20-goal […]
Robert Sánchez, Filip Jörgensen ‘fighting it out’ for Chelsea starting goalkeeper spot
Filip Jörgensen made a surprise start for Chelsea in last night’s 4-1 win over Aston Villa, with Liam Rosenior calling it a “technical decision” to give the start to the backup goalkeeper over the incumbent, Robert Sánchez, in what was a massive game for our top-five aims and Champions League ambitions for next year. Sánchez […]
Liam Rosenior ‘very proud’ of ‘outstanding team performance’ by Chelsea against Aston Villa
So this is what can happen when we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot! The stats have shown that not only are Chelsea the best team in the Premier League in terms of xG generated, but we are one of the very best, full stop …but only at full strength, 11-v-11. So as long as […]

Aston Villa 1-4 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
Chelsea made an horrendous start to the game, conceding inside of two minutes — thanks to a lovely flick from Douglas Luiz. Of course it was Douglas Luiz, linked with Chelsea in January before returning to Villa instead. After that early setback, Chelsea set about starting the game for real, and we took control of […]
Aston Villa vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
Chelsea have a chance to move back into the top-five and also close the gap to fourth place to just three points by beating Aston Villa tonight. That sounds simple enough, but when have we made anything simple for ourselves lately? Liam Rosenior makes a few changes from Sunday, some enforced like Pedro Neto missing […]
