Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Manchester City: Who wants to win the Cup?
Rumors abound that Chelsea will line up in a back-three today in the FA Cup Final against Manchester City, and there’s certainly an argument to be made that a tactical surprise could be just the thing to pull off the upset. Or it could be just the thing to make us look even more discombobulated […]
Chelsea ‘will not entertain any enquiries’ for João Pedro — reports
Catalan media have made quite a bit of noise over João Pedro in the last couple days, claiming that our main man is not only well admired in Barcelona, but that he’s on their very short shortlist for potential reinforcements at striker this summer. Robert Lewandowski looks set to leave after four years for one […]
Chelsea aiming to appoint Xabi Alonso ‘within days’ of FA Cup final — report
Chelsea undertook our current managerial search with the stated intent of doing our full diligence after a period of “self-reflection”, but it would appear that we have found our preferred candidate and we are now wasting no time in trying to get him to agree to become our next manager head coach. And that’s probably […]
Chelsea vs. Manchester City, FA Cup: Preview, team news, how to watch
Chelsea’s 2025-26 season began with great promise, riding high from our Club World Cup triumph. Champions of the World, don’t ya know! It’s been largely downhill ever since, with the club on track for a midtable finish and no Champions League football. There are more questions than answers around the team — are there any […]
How should Chelsea line up against Manchester City in FA Cup final?
Chelsea have three games left this season, but only one that truly matters: Saturday’s FA Cup final. It’s our last best hope of not only something tangibly shiny for this season, but also for getting European football next season. Beating Manchester City won’t be easy, obviously. In fact, that’s something we haven’t done since another […]
The Daily Hilaro: La da da da
FOMO got the better of me, and I sold my soul to the FIFA devils and got a ticket to USA-Australia in Seattle next month. Party time! Speaking of which, my new favorite artist of the day is Ben Caplan: some dude from … Canada? … who sounds like a Disney villain, looks like a […]
Official: Sam Kerr to leave Chelsea FCW at end of the season
When Sam Kerr signed with Chelsea in the winter of 2019, she was already a certified legend of the game: a Ballon d’Or nominee; the all-time leading goalscorer of both the American and the Australian professional women’s leagues. But she wanted more. She wanted more goals, more glory, more trophies. And wouldn’t you know it, […]
Xabi Alonso ‘seeking assurances’ from Chelsea about head coaching role — reports
Xabi Alonso has emerged as the clear frontrunner for the Chelsea job this week, but though we are said to be making “positive progress” in talks with the former Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid coach, he’s said to be “seeking assurances about the role before agreeing” to join us. The Times’ report doesn’t exactly spell […]

Trust Set Offer
Enzo Fernández approaching FA Cup final with a lot of ‘enthusiasm’ and ‘desire’ for trophy
Enzo Fernández may or may not still be here after the World Cup, but for now, his heart is in the right place. Any questions about his commitment to this team have been surely put aside given his performances since his benching for two games last month, and now, along with Reece James, he’s set […]

Hmm Well Surprised
Chelsea’s initial talks with Xabi Alonso ‘encouraging’ — report
The Chelsea rumor mill has gone into overdrive about the prospect of Xabi Alonso becoming the next Chelsea manager head coach this summer. Of course, rumors and speculation are ultimately meaningless on their own, but there’s been enough volume to lend the notion at least some substance. Perhaps the most promising report has come from […]
Estêvão excluded from provisional Brazil squad for World Cup — report
Estêvão’s World Cup dream looks to be over, with the young winger reportedly excluded from Brazil provisional squad. Manager Carlo Ancelotti will announce the final 26-man squad next week, but Estêvão’s already absent from the provisional list published by Globo Esporte today. The list does include current Chelsea players João Pedro and Andrey Santos, as […]

Talks First Champions
Xabi Alonso ‘open to’ possibility with Chelsea ‘exploring’ deal — report
Chelsea’s job search for our latest manager head coach has featured a series of rather underwhelming candidates so far, with the likes of Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva leading the way. Though it would not be surprising if we could not attract candidates of a higher caliber, ideally we’d be aiming slightly above midtable excellence. […]

Hmm First Title
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Not a winger
1. MARC CUCURELLA (7.4) With all actual wingers injured and unavailable, interim head coach Calum McFarlane tasked Marc Cucurella with running down the left wing and the left channel. It wasn’t a complicated assignment, but it worked a treat to expose the weak right side of Liverpool’s defense, where Curtis Jones was playing as a […]
Chelsea FCW 2-3 (a.e.t.) Manchester City WFC, Women’s FA Cup semi-final: Post-match reaction
Having already clinched the Women’s Super League title and interrupted Chelsea Women’s six-fold-consecutive run of lifting that very trophy, Manchester City wanted to inflict more harm upon the only team that managed to beat them more than once this season. They were high in confidence as they did beat us to a pulp last time […]
Chelsea FCW vs. Manchester City WFC, Women’s FA Cup semi-final: Confirmed lineups; how to watch
For the fourth and last time this season, Chelsea Women and Manchester City face each other on the pitch. It’s another “cage”-like match where only one side goes through, with a spot in the Women’s FA Cup final as the reward to the winner today. Thus far it’s advantage Chelsea, although Manchester City did beat […]

Hmm Most Fastest
Calum McFarlane reflects on ‘positive’ Chelsea result against Liverpool that could’ve been even ‘better’
Here we go again. That was surely the overriding emotion when Ryan Gravenberch shifted the ball onto his right foot and absolutely hammered a shot beyond backup goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen to give Liverpool the lead barely five minutes into the lunchtime proceedings at Anfield. Chelsea have made a habit of conceding early — only bottom […]
Chelsea FCW vs. Manchester City WFC, Women’s FA Cup semi-final: Preview, team news, how to watch
Chelsea Women have already lifted the Women’s League Cup this season, and they can get a second cup this year as they’re still in the Women’s FA Cup chase. They will have to beat the current Women’s Super League champions to do so which is no easy feat. But we’ve already done so twice this […]
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
Only Burnley have conceded more goals in the opening 10 minutes of Premier League games this season than Chelsea, and we added to our tally once again when Ryan Gravenberch hammered in a shot from just outside the area in the 6th minute. The ball was hit so hard, Filip Jörgensen barely had time to […]
Liverpool vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
It’s bright and early on a Saturday, and the regular crowd have shuffled in. We’re in no mood for a melody, but we’ve got to stay here all night. So play us a song, BlueCo-man. What the team looks like on the pitch will depend on where exactly Jorrel Hato is playing. Is he a […]
