Chelsea Team News vs Arsenal: Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella
Moises Caicedo is suspended, yet again. The Chelsea midfielder has certainly had his share of disciplinary issues this season, and he'll be banned from competing, once again, when Arsenal comes in for the League Cup semifinal (first leg) on Wednesday night.

Chelsea Team News at Manchester City: Marc Cucurella, Jorrel Hato, Moises Caicedo
The first big match of 2026 is quite obvious- Chelsea at Manchester City. It's without a doubt the biggest headliner match of the first weekend in the new year.

Chelsea Team News, Predicted Starting XI, Match Preview at Bournemouth
What an awful mid-week result for Chelsea FC. Leeds United came into yesterday's match wallowing in the relegation zone. Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Blues put them squarely in the safety zone. While that was extremely disappointing for Chelsea, at least they can already move on to the next match already, which is a trip to AFC Bournemouth. … [Read more...] about Chelsea Team News, Predicted Starting XI, Match Preview at Bournemouth
