Chelsea could take another huge step towards securing a top-four finish this season, as they travel to the Emirates to take on an Arsenal side suffering both on and off the pitch. Unai Emery’s side have won just two of their last six Premier League games, whilst the fulcrum of Arsenal’s attacking set up, Mesut […]
Chelsea are now comfortably ahead of Arsenal in the race for the top four, but their performance was anything but comfortable as they struggled past Newcastle in Saturday’s late kick-off. Goals either side of half-time from under fire forwards Pedro and Willian were enough to secure the three points necessary to heap further misery upon […]
A contentious VAR call handed Tottenham the advantage heading into the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against a Chelsea side that for long periods dominated the play without ever really testing Paulo Gazzaniga. Harry Kane’s 27th-minute penalty was the difference on the night, but aside from the one costly mistake by Kepa Arrizabalaga, […]
Chelsea continued to struggle for goals as they dropped points against Southampton in another dismal home display against a well structured defensive unit. One thing is always assured when watching a Chelsea game under Maurizio Sarri, possession, and his team saw 70% of the ball with little to show for it. Their best chance of […]
Chelsea recorded their third successive away victory under Maurizio Sarri for the first time as N’Golo Kante’s second-half strike was enough to secure all three points for the Blues and consolidate their place in the top four, following yet another slip up from Arsenal – as they were comprehensively thrashed by Liverpool last night. Chelsea’s […]
Eden Hazard brought up a century of Chelsea goals with his 100th and 101st strikes in a match-winning display at Vicarage Road, as Chelsea capitalised on Arsenal’s earlier slip up at Brighton. Goals in first-half stoppage time from both Eden Hazard and then Roberto Pereyra sent the sides in level. Chelsea initially thought they’d snatched the […]
Chelsea’s momentum was halted by another resoundingly subdued performance at home to Claude Puel’s Leicester City side, who thrived off of the deep-lying counter-attacking style they were made to adopt because of Maurizio Sarri’s possession-based tactics – scoring against the run of play through Jamie Vardy in the second-half. Pedro and David Luiz missed good […]
A heavily deflected strike from substitute Eden Hazard was just about enough to see Chelsea through to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup on a bitterly cold Wednesday night against Eddie Howe’s high flying Bournemouth side. A strong yet rotated Chelsea side were on the front foot straight away, with shots from Olivier Giroud and […]
Chelsea consolidated their hold on the Champions League spots with a 2-1 victory away to Brighton, a result that was more comprehensive than the scoreline suggests. First-half goals from Pedro and Eden Hazard seemingly ensured a comfortable afternoon on the south coast, as the latter was once again deployed in a false nine position with […]
Chelsea responded to their midweek defeat to newly promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers in the most convincing of fashions, ending Manchester City’s 15 game unbeaten streak in the Premier League with a tireless 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge. As was to be expected considering the differing fortunes of the teams recently, Pep Guardiola’s league leaders initially took […]
A lack of squad depth was evident in Chelsea’s legged display against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday night, as a four-minute salvo from Nuno Espirito Santo’s men in the second-half was enough to condemn Chelsea to a second successive loss on the road. Sarri’s rotated midfield controlled the game with Cesc Fabregas playing adeptly in both […]
A subdued Chelsea performance in the early Sunday kick-off was just enough to see them claim victory over their West London rivals Fulham, as Claudio Ranieri once again returned to Stamford Bridge. Goals in the first and last ten minutes of the game from Pedro and Ruben Loftus-Cheek ensured the Blues bounced back from their […]
