There is only one match on Boxing Day this year, but tomorrow brings a ton of Premier League action. For whatever reason, almost all of the games are on Saturday this weekend, not Sunday. And although Friday is a holiday too, Newcastle United at Manchester United is the only match scheduled for that day. The best overall match of the weekend though is Aston Villa at Chelsea FC. … [Read more...] about Aston Villa at Chelsea FC Predicted Starting XIs, Match Preview

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

Chelsea vs Barcelona Team News: Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford, Pedri
FC Barcelona at Chelsea FC is the standout fixture of Tuesday night's UEFA Champions League slate, no doubt about it. It's also a match with a pretty extensive injury/fitness concern list, so let's get straight into it, starting with Reece James. The oft-injured Chelsea captain left the 2-0 win over Burnley FC early yesterday, igniting injury concerns. That's understandable, … [Read more...] about Chelsea vs Barcelona Team News: Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford, Pedri
Chelsea Injury Updates: Cole Palmer, Reece James, Enzo Fernandez, Benoit Badiashile
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca met the media today, and he provided a ton of updates on the squad's injury/fitness situation. Some of it is not so good, and we'll start with the bad news first, in Cole Palmer. Maresca had said, prior to this past international break that Cole Palmer would return to action once the October internationals were over. Well, so much for that, as … [Read more...] about Chelsea Injury Updates: Cole Palmer, Reece James, Enzo Fernandez, Benoit Badiashile
Chelsea Predicted Starting XI at Nottingham Forest
World Cup Qualifiers are wrapping up today and tomorrow, meaning the October international break is now winding down. So yes, it's already time to preview the next weekend's Premier League action.

Chelsea Injury Updates: Reece James, Cole Palmer, Wesley Fofana, Tosin Adarabioyo
It was a big weekend for Chelsea, who scored a nice win over then league leading Liverpool. Team captain Reece James played the full 90 in that victory but he did not come away unscathed. James suffered an unspecified injury of some sort, forcing him to pull out of international duty with England this week. It may just be a knock, and nothing more serious, but it is … [Read more...] about Chelsea Injury Updates: Reece James, Cole Palmer, Wesley Fofana, Tosin Adarabioyo
Chelsea FC Starting XI Prediction vs Liverpool
There is no doubt what headliner fixture of the Premier League weekend is- Liverpool at Chelsea. The Reds will head into southwest London as slight favorites, and that's very understandable, given how Chelsea has been slumping lately. The Blues currently sit eighth in the table, and given all their resources, and transfer spending- that is simply unacceptable. A win here, … [Read more...] about Chelsea FC Starting XI Prediction vs Liverpool
Chelsea FC Starting XI Prediction vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Chelsea FC did exactly what they were supposed to do yesterday, take care of business against a third tier side in the League Cup. Maybe the 2-1 score line versus Lincoln City wasn't as lopsided as you might think it should be, when a League One team hosts one of the world's biggest financial powerhouses, but the W is all that matters and Chelsea are now moving on to 4th round … [Read more...] about Chelsea FC Starting XI Prediction vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Chelsea Starting XI Prediction at Manchester United
Ouch! That was absolutely not the way that Chelsea FC wanted to start their UEFA Champions League campaign. Bayern beat them 3-1 as Harry Kane bagged a brace, one goal from the spot, the other from open play. Enzo Maresca has work to do, as Chelsea may be a very strong squad (they did win the FIFA Club World Cup after all, but they are not quite among the world's elitist of the … [Read more...] about Chelsea Starting XI Prediction at Manchester United
