Chelsea’s unbeaten run to the Premier League season stretched to 11 games on Sunday as Alvaro Morata’s goals helped the Blues overcome the pace of Crystal Palace.

In the absence of Eden Hazard, who wasn’t even fit enough to make the matchday squad, Chelsea’s English contingent stepped up to ensure the Blues breezed past a sluggish Burnley side, who had overcome a poor start to the season to take seven points from their previous four games. The first half started with Chelsea […]
A late Daniel Sturridge wonder strike denied Chelsea their second win over Liverpool in the space of four days, as the sides played out an end to end attacking match at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea maintained their perfect start under Maurizio Sarri with a comfortable 1-0 victory over PAOK in the first game of their Europa League campaign.

ESPN’s Ian Darke believes that this new found […]
Second-half goals from Pedro and Eden Hazard maintained Maurizio Sarri’s 100% unbeaten start to the Premier League season, as a stubborn Bournemouth side fell to a 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea kick-started their Premier League campaign in the perfect fashion, comprehensively dispatching of a weak Huddersfield team 3-0 at the John Smith’s Stadium.

Chelsea ended the 2017-18 season and perhaps Antonio Conte’s tenure in charge with a victory in the FA Cup final against Manchester United.
