Chelsea have got themselves into a rather sticky situation as we frantically head towards January.

Things have just not worked out for Hakim Ziyech at Chelsea since his arrival from Ajax a couple of seasons ago.

The managerial merry-go-round continues out there right now as Aston Villa boss Dean Smith became the latest Premier League manager to get the chop.

N’Golo Kante is world class, but he has also become rather injury-prone in recent seasons, those are both facts. Chelsea always look better when Kante is on the pitch and make no mistake, this is in no way saying that we don’t need Kante in our team, because we absolutely do. There is no other […] View the full article

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga could still prove to be a massive part of Chelsea’s season and a real asset in their title push.

James posted a topic in Chelsea Articles
Chelsea seem have their confidence back after a 4-0 win over Malmo in the Champions League, but the loss of two players to injury in the same game is undoubtedly a blow.
