Christopher Nkunku, who we covered here in this post, has officially joined AC Milan on a permanent switch. Getting back to Jackson, Chelsea have struck a deal with the Bavarian … [Read more...] about Nicolas Jackson Set to Join Bayern Munich on £13m Loan Move

Chelsea FC Get Barcelona, Bayern Munich in Champions League Draw

By

Chelsea have a UEFA Champions League schedule, in the League Phase that's a pretty tough slate, for pretty much anybody. There is no such thing as the "group of death" in this new UCL format, or even a true "group" for that matter. However, this kind of schedule evokes the same kind of vibes as "the group of death." Chelsea's confirmed fixture list for the UCL includes FC … [Read more...] about Chelsea FC Get Barcelona, Bayern Munich in Champions League Draw

West Ham United Starting Lineup vs Chelsea FC

By

West Ham United got the new season started on the absolute wrong foot. They fell 3-0 to newly promoted Sunderland, in a result that truly was as bad as that sounds. Hammers boss Graham Potter didn't have the summer transfer window that he wanted, nor the kind of preseason that he might have hoped for. Now opening day didn't go the way that he would have liked either. Welcoming … [Read more...] about West Ham United Starting Lineup vs Chelsea FC

West Ham Team News vs Chelsea: Luis Guilherme, George Earthy, Crysencio Summerville

By

Luis Guilherme Lira dos Santos, or Luis Guilherme, was absent from West Ham United's season opening 3-0 loss to Sunderland. Guilherme suffered a certainly substantial, and perhaps serious shoulder injury. The injury is being reported as a broken collarbone, or a fractured clavicle. Whatever you want to call it, it sounds pretty bad, and Guilherme could be out for maybe … [Read more...] about West Ham Team News vs Chelsea: Luis Guilherme, George Earthy, Crysencio Summerville

Chelsea FC Starting Lineup Prediction at West Ham United

By

From one London derby to another for Chelsea FC, as they'll visit West Ham United in Premier League week two. The opening week underwhelmed as Chelsea stalemated Crystal Palace, a side with a payroll that is about a third the size of their wage bill is. They should fare better against West Ham, a side that had a much worse opening week than the Blues. Losing to a newly … [Read more...] about Chelsea FC Starting Lineup Prediction at West Ham United

Chelsea Team News at West Ham: Tosin Adarabioyo, Romeo Lavia, Benoit Badiashile

By

Chelsea FC managed only a single point from their season opening London derby, a nil-nil draw with Crystal Palace. They also came out of the match with a new injury concern- Tosin Adarabioyo. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca was very vague about it, saying only: "Tosin had a physical problem. We don’t know for how long (he'll be out)." That actually makes it sound more serious … [Read more...] about Chelsea Team News at West Ham: Tosin Adarabioyo, Romeo Lavia, Benoit Badiashile

United Still Waiting on Alejandro Garnacho Bid from Chelsea FC

By

The summer transfer window closes two weeks from today, and Alejandro Garnacho still does not have a new club to play for. Like Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho (who also isn't close to finding a new destination), Garnacho will almost certainly never play for Manchester United again. You can never say never, but we all pretty much know, Garnacho is done at Old Trafford. As … [Read more...] about United Still Waiting on Alejandro Garnacho Bid from Chelsea FC
