Liam Rosenior ‘really, really happy’ with ‘top team performance’ by Chelsea
Chelsea put together one of our best and most complete overall performances Sunday afternoon at Selhurst Park, dispatching Crystal Palace by a score of 3-1 and climbing back up into the top-five European spots in the table. Granted, Palace are in an absolute tailspin at the moment and have become one of the worst teams […]
Chelsea to recall Aarón Anselmino after Rennes reject Jérémy Jacquet approach — reports
Chelsea look set to possibly reinforce our center back options with the recall of Aarón Anselmino from Borussia Dortmund, as per an exclusive this evening from The Athletic. The report stops short of claiming that Anselmino’s about to join the first-team, with Chelsea still “evaluating the centre-back market”, but surely we would not be bringing […]
Crystal Palace 1-3 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
It was a fairly high tempo yet ultimately quite low quality first half at Selhurst Park, with very few chances at either end, but with Chelsea taking a 1-0 lead into the break thanks to an individual effort from Estêvão, who seized upon an errant backpass to run at goal from the halfway line, hold […]
Crystal Palace vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to Selhurst Park where a struggling Crystal Palace lie in wait. Chelsea have had great success against Palace in recent years, so hopefully that continues today. Unfortunately, it looks like Cole Palmer was not passed fit for the game. Estêvão does start, and that’s fun. Interestingly (mildly), it’s Teddy Sharman-Lowe serving as backup goalkeeper, […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Crystal Palace: No time to mess about
Chelsea have a huge game coming up midweek, away against Napoli in the Champions League, but that’s no reason to overlook the more immediate task at hand. Three points are an absolute must today against Crystal Palace (and perhaps even more so than on Wednesday) as we look to remain in the thick of the […]

Crystal Palace vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
Chelsea have made a decent start to life under Liam Rosenior with three wins in his first four games, the only defeat a Cup match against league-leaders Arsenal, but our overall form remains on the disappointing end, especially in the Premier League, away from home. It’s been almost exactly two months since we tasted victory […]
Chelsea FCW 0-2 Arsenal WFC, Women’s Super League: Post-match reaction
For a good while one of the best things Chelsea Women were able to do was regularly beating Arsenal, both at home and away. That started to change over the last years when we went to their turf. But at least we could still claim Kingsmeadow and Stamford Bridge as our own “fortresses” against their […]
Chelsea FCW vs. Arsenal WFC, Women’s Super League: Confirmed lineups; how to watch
Back to back big matches for Chelsea Women this week (and beyond!). Right after taking and beating Manchester City to a Women’s League Cup finals spot, the Blues meet Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in a crucial Women’s Super League game. Of utmost important is getting three points over the Gunners today after failing to do […]

Chelsea FCW vs. Arsenal WFC, Women’s Super League: Preview, team news, how to watch
It’s back to back derbies for Chelsea Women this week as right after facing Manchester City away in the Women’s League Cup semifinals, the Blues host Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in the Women’s Super League. Last time around a packed house gave us the energy to beat the Gunners on a slim margin. We can […]
How should Chelsea line up against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park?
Liam Rosenior has won three of his first four games in charge of Chelsea — a pretty decent start — but now four of the next five are away, including potentially season-defining games against Napoli in the Champions League and Arsenal in the League Cup. We’ve struggled on the road (2 wins in 8 in […]
Chelsea fined £150k for water bottle-throwing incident against Aston Villa
At the very end of Chelsea’s 2-1 home defeat against Aston Villa, which would prove to be Enzo Maresca’s penultimate match in charge of the Blues, a (full) water bottle was thrown from the Chelsea dugout in the direction of the Aston Villa dugout. At least it’s presumed to have been thrown rather than apparate […]
Chelsea assessing midfield loan options as Dário Essugo suffers injury setback
Those who surmised that the rumors yesterday of Chelsea “exploring a move” for Douglas Luiz were a result of something happening to one of our midfielders are being proven right today, with head coach Liam Rosenior confirming that Dario Essugo has suffered a setback just as he was getting ready to make his season debut. […]

Chelsea ‘exploring a move’ for Douglas Luiz — reports
According to The Athletic and the BBC, Chelsea are “interested” in midfielder Douglas Luiz and are “exploring a move” over a potential loan for him (and nothing more than that, as per Fabrizio Romano). None of this makes too much sense of course, but sense isn’t ever a necessary ingredient to transfer market rumors and […]
Chelsea 1-0 Pafos, Player Ratings: Moi saves the day
1. MOISÉS CAICEDO (7.5) Caicedo’s having a career year as far as goals scored are concerned: this is now his fifth in all competitions, just one off his career high, which he set back in his debut season in Ecuador. This is all just a bonus of course to his usual contributions as a world-class […]

Struggling in PL Leaving Surprise
Rosenior: ‘You have to keep banging on the door’
Despite being dominant on the pitch and on the statsheet, Chelsea were approaching the final ten minutes of the match against Pafos FC last night without anything to show for our efforts. The prior 80 minutes or so had elapsed almost entirely as an attack-versus-defense exercise, with the Blues having nearly all of the ball, […]
Chelsea 1-0 Pafos, Champions League: Post-match reaction, ratings
Neither side made an especially energetic start to the game, though Pafos were clearly happy to not press the issue too much and focus on their defensive work, just as they had done throughout the competition. Those plans might have been undone pretty quickly had Enzo Fernández gotten away with a little push on the […]
Manchester City WFC 0-1 Chelsea FCW, Women’s League Cup: Post-match reaction
Unsurprisingly Chelsea Women were very wary of Manchester City in their trip to the Academy Stadium in Manchester tonight. And so were the hosts, unwilling to let the Blues put an end to a 16-match unbeaten streak with 15 (regular time) victories started right after they lost the season opener to us at Stamford Bridge. […]
Chelsea vs. Pafos, Champions League: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to Matchday 7 (of 8) in the Champions League “league-phase”. A win here would guarantee Chelsea’s place in the knockout rounds, and keep us in contention for a top-eight finish as well. Anything less and suddenly there would be a lot of pressure on our final game of this phase, away to Napoli. Not […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Pafos: Don’t take it too easy!
On paper, Chelsea’s game tonight against Pafos FC, the second lowest-ranked team remaining in the competition, is the easiest of our eight league-phase matches in the Champions League. That ranking will have improved over the past few months however, as they’ve collected six points from their first six games, and remain well in contention for […]
Manchester City WFC vs. Chelsea FCW, Women’s League Cup: Lineups & Game Thread
Once again, a cup match on the table for Chelsea Women. Win this and we’re through to the Women’s League Cup final match set to take stage at Ashton Gate in Bristol. Lose this and we’re out, with Manchester City moving forward instead. Today’s City team arrives in a much better place than the one […]
