Chelsea yet again failed to capitalise on results going their way as they were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw by Burnley. In the absence of Antonio Rudiger, Chelsea’s defence looked nervous and unorganised, especially when adopting zonal marking from set-pieces. Twice it would be poor marking that allowed Burnley to execute their game plan […]
Chelsea made hard work of their second leg Europa League tie against Slavia Prague, but a 4-3 victory ensured Maurizio Sarri reached the first European semi-final of his managerial career. Despite moving one step closer to securing Champions League qualification through winning a first Europa League trophy since 2013, attention must now be reverted back […]
A rotated Chelsea side reflected their second string status within the squad by displaying a languid and uninspiring display against perennial Europa League underdogs Slavia Prague, although Marcos Alonso’s late header did ensure Maurizio Sarri’s men left the Czech Republic with a victory and a crucial away goal. With one eye on Sunday’s game against […]
Chelsea travel to the Czech Republic to take on Slavia Prague in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final this Thursday, as Maurizio Sarri looks to build on a steadily impressive recent run of form. With three wins from three, Chelsea have racked up their longest winning run since the opening five games of […]
A goal in each half from Eden Hazard ensured Chelsea moved up to third in the league for the first time since December, as West Ham fell victim to Maurizio Sarri’s resurgent Blues side. Chelsea produced a pulsating attacking display to swat aside their London rivals in the first-half, with Hazard figuring at the centre […]
Maurizio Sarri may have a new saviour, in the form of veteran England defender Phil Jagielka, after the 36-year-old scored a priceless winner against Arsenal in his first start of the season. Such divine intervention, Jagielka was not originally meant to start the game, coupled with back to back wins against Cardiff and Brighton have […]
Chelsea kept the pressure on their top-four rivals with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Chris Hughton’s nervy Brighton side, who are still not assured top-flight safety. A bright and dominant first-half display produced little goalmouth action as Brighton set up to frustrate the Blues with a deep defensive line and tight marking, especially out wide. […]
Callum Hudson-Odoi is set to be handed his first Premier League start on Wednesday night, as Chelsea look to increase the pressure on Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United in the race for a top-four finish. Brighton and Hove Albion offer Maurizio Sarri the chance to quickly build upon Sunday’s controversial and uninspiring victory away […]
Two late headers, one controversially ruled to be onside, secured a huge win for a largely uninspiring Chelsea side in Cardiff. Goals from Cesar Azpilicueta and substitute Ruben Loftus-Cheek completed a dramatic turnaround in South-Wales after Victor Camarasa’s volley had given Neil Warnock’s relegation-threatened Bluebirds a surprise lead. Warnock had more than enough reason to […]
Following an eventful international break, in which both Ross Barkley and Callum Hudson-Odoi shone respectively, Chelsea will be looking to make a strong start to yet another packed schedule of fixtures as they kick-off their end of season run-in with a trip to relegation-threatened Cardiff on Sunday. Aside from the performances of Chelsea’s English contingent, […]
A laboured second-half performance saw Chelsea slump to yet another loss on the road this season. Goals from Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson recorded the first win for Everton against top-six opposition under Marco Silva, as Maurizio Sarri’s side lost more ground on the top four. Chelsea started the game quickly and set about releasing Eden […]
Having eased into the quarter-finals of the Europa League, where they’ll take on Sparta Prague, with an 8-0 aggregate demolition of Dynamo Kyiv Chelsea must now recover quickly before they travel to take on Everton in Sunday’s late kick-off. With many Premier League clubs still involved in the FA Cup, Maurizio Sarri knows that this […]
