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)

"Filip felt his groin yesterday, and he couldn't train," Rosenior said after the loss to Newcastle. "I thought Rob (Sanchez) … [Read more...] about Chelsea Team News vs PSG: Filip Jorgensen, Jamie Gittens, Pedro Neto, Estevao
