He will be a perfectly good backup player to have in the squad I feel

Nkunku available according to the papers.

Ornstein saying Chelsea might still do the Jhon Duran deal but won't be signing Benzema. Connor, Trevor and Broja can all leave. Wolves and Fulham have interest in Broja but nothing concrete.

Chelsea preparing a bid for Blackburn's Adam Wharton. 19 year old Blackburn mid. Palace had a 18m bid rejected for him recently. Looks good on YouTube but wondering what's the point of stockpiling. There's already Santos, Casadei, Ugo, Lavia

Says he’s done. No energy

Can sacrifice Gallagher for Chukwuemeka and bring in Chilwell at LB. Otherwise the same team

Plot twist - Drogba is warning Osimhen to not join Chelsea

If the club sell Broja there are not many options in the market. Who else do you suggest bringing in January ?

Happy because of that first half performance. Replay date is not set yet but it looks like it will be in the midweek between Feb 4 (Wolves home) and Feb 12 (Palace away). Not too bad

Good pressing so far. Should be the baseline pressing level from now

Been a while since we had teams in a chokehold like this for long spells

Madueke has taken a couple of horror corners so far

The worst miss so far

Now Palmer misses a sitter.

Man completely free to ping in a shot after a simple corner routine

Madueke. Should be ahead

Yes looked offside too if you count it as a deflection from Alfie

Phew no goal

Colwill seen with physios. Seems to be an injury or at least a scare

Alfie Gilchrist replacing Colwill in the lineup

This is great news. Along with Carney we are getting quite a few key players back

People are discussing replacement names because everyone from Ornstein to Romano are reporting Chelsea is trying to sell Broja.

He's been playing well from what I have seen. But nowhere near the goal output to come in here.
