It is already time to start previewing the next round of Premier League action, believe it or not. Or at least we can do for the teams who do not have UEFA competition in midweek. Chelsea and Everton are two such examples, although they both currently sit in positions that would qualify them for next year's European tournaments. Chelsea versus Everton is a sneaky good game, as … [Read more...] about Chelsea Predicted XI at Everton: Xabi Alonso Likely to be without Reece James Again

Chelsea Injury Updates: Moises Caicedo, Marco Palestra, Cole Palmer
Chelsea FC head into the September-October internationals (yes, it's a combo platter international break) sitting in the very last position on the first page of the standings. Yes, 10th place, which is as "mid" as the kids like to say, as it gets. Injuries are a big reason why Chelsea are so pedestrian thus far this season. With midfield maestro Moises Caicedo and summer … [Read more...] about Chelsea Injury Updates: Moises Caicedo, Marco Palestra, Cole Palmer
Chelsea Predicted XI at Brentford: Pep Chavarria, Maxence Lacroix Could Get Starting Assignments
Until we know what is going on with Reece James and Joao Pedro, we'll just assume that they are okay, and available for selection this weekend at Brentford. Now they did miss training on Tuesday, so who knows, they might indeed be injured, but until we get confirmation on that, let's just assume that they are totally fine. We predict the pair will start in the London derby on … [Read more...] about Chelsea Predicted XI at Brentford: Pep Chavarria, Maxence Lacroix Could Get Starting Assignments
Chelsea Predicted XI at Arsenal: Xabi Alonso to Field Strong Team for London Derby
Chelsea winger/midfielder Pedro Neto continues to be linked with a move away, despite the fact that the summer transfer window is now closed. That's because the Saudi Arabia window remains open until October 12. That said, we still think Neto will stay put at Chelsea, and we selected him for our starting XI prediction at Arsenal on Sunday.

Chelsea Starting XI Prediction vs AC Milan (Club Friendly)
It may only be preseason, but these footballers are competitors. Even for exhibition matches, they would much rather win than lose. Chelsea lost 2-1 to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, and Juventus in midweek. No Blues supporter wants to see three consecutive losses, any format or competition, especially when you consider how last season went. So the clash with AC Milan in … [Read more...] about Chelsea Starting XI Prediction vs AC Milan (Club Friendly)
Chelsea vs AC Milan Team News: Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, Christian Pulisic
Chelsea will take on another traditional Italian powerhouse, this time AC Milan, on Saturday. The opponent was Juventus last time out, and the Blues fell 1-0, in a match where they were without the services of Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill. Both were only nursing minor issues, so they should be available for this match. It wouldn't be totally accurate to label Palmer and … [Read more...] about Chelsea vs AC Milan Team News: Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, Christian Pulisic

Or at … [Read more...] about Chelsea Predicted Starting XI vs Juventus (Preseason Friendly)
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea Predicted Starting XIs (Preseason Friendly)
You know this cliche that you often hear from announcers this time of year: "there is no such thing as a friendly." Okay, but can you have a derby and a friendly at the same time? In Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea, you have a London derby, in a preseason friendly. And it's happening down under, so it's branded the Sydney Super Cup.
