Chelsea vs. Barcelona, Champions League: Preview, team news, how to watch

Football doesn’t get much bigger than Barcelona coming to your city, even if it’s “just” for the league phase (née group stage) of the new Champions League format. It’s as marquee of a matchup as marquee matchups can get, especially given all the (modern) history between the two teams on Europe’s biggest stages over the […]

Cole Palmer back in Chelsea training despite fractured toe

Cole Palmer has been dealing with a most annoying groin injury for the past few months, limiting him to just four appearances so far this season, and then, just when it looked like he was getting ready to return — perhaps as soon as tonight against Barcelona — he managed to bang his little toe […]

How should Chelsea line up against Barcelona in the Champions League?

Next up for Chelsea, on Tuesday night, is the teeny-tiny barely noteworthy very small task of taking on and, hopefully, challenging Barcelona in the Champions League. Easy, peezy, lemon squeezy. This will be match number five of eight in the league phase, and after the dropped points in Azerbaijan against Qarabag, it becomes even more […]

Burnley 0-2 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Andrey Santos steps up, answers the call

1. ANDREY SANTOS (8.3) We’ve seen — well, heard about, mostly, to be more precise — Andrey Santos excelling for sister-club RC Strasbourg over the past couple seasons, and now we’ve got to witness that first-hand in Chelsea Blue as well. Santos stepped into the “Caicedo-role” and made it so that not only did we […]

Burnley vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread

We’re back, baby! Back to proper football … and hopefully back to more winning. We could use some consistency as we begin the long, four-month grind through the winter months. This isn’t the easiest game to start with, but it sure is easier than the next two coming up (Barcelona, Arsenal). Enzo Maresca has made […]

Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Burnley: Here’s what worked before

Chelsea went into the international break on the back of a 3-0 win over Wolves, and though we may be separated by two weeks from that result, we can still stick to the old adage of never changing a winning combination since that’s still our last game. And so, for the WAGNH Community, there’s no […]

Burnley vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch

The last international break of 2025 is over, and it’s now uninterrupted football for the next four months (not counting the Africa Cup of Nations, which doesn’t affect us this time around). Winter is here, and so is the winter grind. You can’t win any actual trophies just yet, but you can certainly lose out […]

Cole Palmer fractures toe in at home ‘accident’

There was growing hope that Cole Palmer could be back in action this week, with Chelsea set to face Barcelona midweek and then Arsenal next weekend, but those hopes were cruelly bashed by Palmer bashing his little toe into something in his home. We’ve all been there, I’m sure, kicking into the corner of the […]

How should Chelsea line up against Burnley in first game back from international break?

Chelsea return from the international break with (yet another) lunchtime kickoff on Saturday. This start time is never not annoying, but especially so when it’s right after an international break, and doubly so when we have to travel a fair distance. Alleviating the situation a bit is the fact that some key players, such as […]

Chelsea FCW 1-1 Barcelona Femení, UEFA Women’s Champions League: Post-match reaction

We have some good memories of facing Barça at Stamford Bridge. That unfortunately has been limited to the men’s team, since Chelsea Women have never beaten the Blaugranas at home. It seemed heartbreak would start early with Clàudia Pina barely missing the target early in the match. But Ellie Carpenter with a great effort at […]

Filip Jörgensen ‘considering potential January exit’ from Chelsea — reports

Playing time has been hard to come by for Filip Jörgensen, with the 25-year-old restricted to just four appearances (three starts) this season so far after playing a fair amount last season (24 appearances across all competitions) while backing up Robert Sánchez. Of course, opportunities have been not nearly as abundant this year with Chelsea […]

Estêvão scores again for Brazil; Marc Cucurella picks up assist for Spain

Another game, another goal for young Estêvão, who started for Brazil in their friendly against Tunisia. Granted, this one was “just” from the penalty spot, but that’s just a technicality — especially as then Lucas Paquetá would miss a penalty later in the game and consign Brazil to just a 1-1 draw. “It was an […]
