The big storyline for the Fulham Road Derby on Wednesday night is obvious- who will be calling the shots for Chelsea? According to a report in Sky Sports, Liam Rosenior is set to replace Enzo Maresca (who departed on New Year's Day) as Blues boss. The report indicates that Rosenior came in today, for his formal interview, and that provided we have no last minute hiccups, he'll … [Read more...] about Chelsea Team News at Fulham: Liam Rosenior, Calum McFarlane, Robert Sanchez, Wesley Fofana

Aston Villa at Chelsea FC Predicted Starting XIs, Match Preview
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 FC Predicted Starting XI at Atalanta BC (Champions League)
Moises Caicedo is one of Chelsea's most important players, so he's obviously one of the first names written into the team sheet, by manager Enzo Maresca. Given how the Ecuadorian midfield maestro is suspended domestically, he'll be well rested for the trip to Atalanta on Tuesday night. Caicedo will be the first name penciled in on Tuesday night by the Blues boss. … [Read more...] about Chelsea FC Predicted Starting XI at Atalanta BC (Champions League)
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 Predicted Starting XI at Burnley FC
Chelsea FC have certainly had a very busy international break, with lots of injury/fitness news to cover. Overall, the situation that emerged from this FIFA window was largely positive for the southwest London club. It's really more about minutes management and precautionary action than it is actual injury issues. Enzo Fernandez will no doubt have a major workload going … [Read more...] about Chelsea Predicted Starting XI at Burnley FC
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 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 Team News vs Brighton: Palmer, Guiu, Sanchez, Lavia, Badiashile
Lots of Chelsea team news to cover from the past couple days of Enzo Maresca press conferences. The Blues boss provided updates on the likes of Cole Palmer, Marc Guiu, Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile over the course of Monday and Tuesday. We got a lot of ground to cover, so let's just dive right in, starting with Palmer. He's been battling a groin problem, and playing … [Read more...] about Chelsea Team News vs Brighton: Palmer, Guiu, Sanchez, Lavia, Badiashile
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
