Chelsea didn’t play particularly appealing football for the most part — granted, that didn’t really happen in 2015/16 either — […]
Chelsea had a very warm welcome back to Stamford Bridge on Monday night after winning the Premier League title on Friday at the Hawthorns.

Conte had Thibaut Courtois […]
Well, that was underwhelming! Sunday progressively got seemingly worse as the day rolled on. First it was the news that Thibaut Courtois wouldn’t be in the squad. Fine, we can get by with Asmir Begovic in goal. Then, the news that Marcos Alonso had been sick and would not feature came out. Sure, it’s not ideal, […]

Chelsea picked up their third straight league win after a 2-1 victory over Stoke City at the Bet 365 Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

On to the next one. Chelsea advanced to the FA Cup semi-finals on Monday night with a 1-0 win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. The Blues will play Tottenham on the weekend of April 22-23.
