Chelsea vs. Burnley, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
For the past few months, Chelsea have spent nearly every waking hour playing football, training for playing football, or recovering from playing … football. Football, football, football! You might say that’s to be expected, given it’s their job and it’s the middle of the season, but as Liam Rosenior pointed out in his pre-match press […]
Official: Chelsea agree short-term front-of-shirt sponsorship with Industrial AI provider IFS
AI is all the rage these days — everything with even just a hint of a generative algorithm being hailed as the next biggest productivity booster — so it’s perhaps no surprise that Chelsea have found an AI company willing to splurge some cash and become our front-of-shirt sponsor, at least for the rest of […]
Roméo Lavia set for rehab start with Chelsea U21 (*UPDATED*)
UPDATE: Lavia did in fact, and played the first half in the 2-2 draw. Chelsea took a 2-0 lead (Leo Cardoso and Shim Mheuka with the goals) but coughed it up late on. Sounds familiar! If we’re lucky and keep our eyes peeled on the misty horizon, we just might spot a mythical creature going […]

How should Chelsea line up against Burnley after four days off?
After a grueling multi-month stretch of games every three-four days, Chelsea will have gone over a week between games by the time kick-off against Burnley rolls around this weekend. The team have taken advantage of that by sending the players away for a few days, with many going off for a short vacations in various […]

Chelsea to face Arsenal in Women’s Champions League quarterfinals
Last night, Arsenal, fresh off their victory in the inaugural FIFA Women’s Champions Cup, also finished off Belgian Women’s Super League champions OH Leuven by an aggregate score of 7-1, setting up the expected and quite massive showdown against Chelsea in the quarterfinals of this year’s UEFA Women’s Champions League. As on the men’s side, […]

Bayern Munich ‘unlikely to pursue’ Nicolas Jackson transfer — report
With much fanfare and even bigger drama, Nicolas Jackson joined Bayern Munich on loan in the summer, with Bayern paying around €15m just in loan fees and also negotiating an additional €65m clause to make his signing permanent. Pretty good wheeling and dealing by Chelsea, no? Alas, that clause soon turned out to be a […]

Chelsea drawn against Wrexham in FA Cup fifth round
For the third successive round in the FA Cup, Chelsea have been drawn away against a Championship side. But our latest will be the most high profile of the lot, as we head up to North Wales, to face Hollywood FC in Wrexham on the weekend of March 7. Wrexham, now in the fifth full […]

Hull City 0-4 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Neto, Delap bring a bit of magic to the Cup
1. PEDRO NETO (8.9) Neto has been mired in a rather lengthy slump, despite his near-constant presence in the starting lineup — availability is always a good ability! — so it’s great to see him break out (hopefully) with a match-winning performance. The hat-trick also gives him 10 goals for the season, setting a new […]
Chelsea FCW 2-0 Liverpool FCW, Women’s Super League: Post-match reaction
It’s kind of boring to keep repeating this so often. But this Chelsea Women is not playing as confidently as they were since their Arsenal loss followed by an absolute beatdown handed to them by Manchester City. No wonder we’ve had major developments ever since in a mostly drama-free club, namely Sonia Bompastor’s extension to […]
Chelsea FCW vs. Liverpool FCW, Women’s Super League: Lineups & Game Thread
Chelsea Women have done well in finding balance again in the Women’s Super League by beating city rivals Tottenham last weekend. But to really be back in usual business we need to string along some well needed wins, beginning with Liverpool at Kingsmeadow today. We did beat the Reds 9-1 at their turf a while […]
Chelsea FCW vs. Liverpool FCW, Women’s Super League: Preview, team news, how to watch
It’s been almost a full month since Chelsea Women last took the ground at Kingsmeadow to play in front of the home crowd. Today we’re finally back at a home we clearly miss so dearly, to host Liverpool in the Women’s Super League. Some of us have that absolute demolition of Liverpool still in mind. […]

Marc Cucurella to miss 3-4 weeks with hamstring injury — report
According to the BBC, Marc Cucurella “is hoping to return in 3-4 weeks” from his hamstring injury, which presumably finally got properly scanned and assessed, with a rehab plan put in place. Cucurella got hurt in the game against Leeds United on Tuesday, but on Friday night, after our 4-0 victory against Hull City, head […]
‘World-class’ Pedro Neto joins the hat-trick party
Like London buses, Chelsea hat-tricks are coming in bunches. After not seeing one for over a calendar year, we’ve now had two in the space of a week. Pedro Neto’s last night might not be as historic as Cole Palmer’s was a couple game ago … though it’s probably pretty rare to have one of […]

Liam Rosenior ‘very happy’ with Chelsea’s ‘really professional performance’ against Hull City
Chelsea made light work of Championship promotion hopefuls Hull City last night in the FA Cup, advancing to the fifth round with a straightforward 4-0 victory. Pedro Neto’s hat-trick keyed the performance, but it was a solid effort from just about all involved, despite the occasional blizzard blowing through. The outcome was only ever in […]
Hull City 0-4 Chelsea, FA Cup: Post-match reaction, ratings
There was plenty of attacking impetus from both sides at the start, with Hull threatening first, then Chelsea wasting several presentable chances through Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto. Mamadou Sarr announced his presence in defense with a goal-line clearance, then raised eyebrows with a glorious long ball to Estêvão, who shrugged off a defender, rounded […]
Hull City vs. Chelsea, FA Cup: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to Hull City, and welcome back to Hull City for head coach Liam Rosenior. Any fond memories can wait however; we’ve got a win and a place in the FA Cup fifth round to get first! Both teams have been dealing with extreme fixture congestion for weeks on end, so we’ve got a bit […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Hull City: Half rotation
Both managers are expected to rotate their teams for tonight’s FA Cup fourth round match between Hull City and Chelsea — not because this game isn’t important, but because both teams are coming out of grueling stretches of fixture congestion, while dealing with injury and other massive games coming up soon. The WAGNH Community are […]
