Let the routine home win commence. The Bridge ahead of kick off : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Chelsea (2) 2 Palmer 21, Gusto 45 Everton (0) 0 They didn't even have to play particularly well to get the job done - but victory over Everton at Stamford Bridge is always pretty much a given, give or take the odd draw. It is something of a minor miracle that this fixture draws any away fans. The Toffees had failed to win any of their previous 29 league visits to the Bridge a

When West meets North : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Chelsea (0) 1 Chalobah 48 Caicedo s/o 38 Arsenal (0) 1 Merino 59 Chelsea's bid to close a six-point gap on league leaders Arsenal fell just short but they pushed the Gunners all the way, even with 10 men. They had to cope without Moises Caicedo after his 38th minute dismissal but still had enough about them to grab a lead and then showed defensive nous to make sure they denied the Gunners a win the visitors had threa

By Alessandro Schiavone in Strasbourg Ben Chilwell admitted that he's still not where he'd like to be as he eyes a place in Thomas Tuchel's World Cup squad with England. Chilwell, who sealed a permanent move to Ligue 1 in the summer, helped Strasbourg overcome ex-club Crystal Palace in the Conference League last night. He told Capital Football: "For me what's nice and what's good here is that I am getting consistent performances where I can keep on building the level. "The m

Another episode in a fixture with a great recent history : Picture by @YTJourno Champions League MD5 Chelsea (1) 3 Kounde og 27, Estevao 55, Delap 73 Barcelona (0) 0 So much history behind it. And the fixture with the sexy background once again delivered - as far as Chelsea fans were concerned, that is. It may not have carried quite the visceral joy of that famous 4-2 win in the Ronaldinho era or the '3-0 up in 19 minutes' tie at the Bridge - The Blues had no Messi to contend

Chelsea (0) 3 v Wolverhampton Wanderers (0) 0 Gusto 51 João Pedro 65 Neto 73 By Kaz Mochlinski at Stamford Bridge Premier League Matchweek 11 Malo Gusto scored the first goal of his career and Estêvão Willian increased his growing star status still further as Chelsea moved into second place in the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Three goals in the second half eventually broke the stubborn resistance of the league’s bottom team, who came to Stamford

Tottenham Hotspur (0) 0 v Chelsea (1) 1 João Pedro 34 By Kaz Mochlinski at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Premier League Matchweek 10 Tottenham Hotspur’s home ground may no longer be called White Hart Lane, but for Chelsea supporters it remains ‘Three Point Lane’ as the Blues continued their overwhelming domination over Spurs of recent years with yet another victory. João Pedro scored the only goal of the game to bring Chelsea level on points with Tottenham and trailing them j

Happy day at the Cottage for Fulham fans : Picture @CapitalFootball Fulham fans will be breathing massive sighs of relief after seeing their side secure a crucial 3-0 win to end a run of defeats that was dragging them down into the Premier League danger zone. They badly needed a change of narrative after successive losses to Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Arsenal and Newcastle in the Premier League and nothing but three points against a winless Wolves would have done at Craven Co

Cup favourites : Chelsea have a great chance of another League Cup semi-final There is only one club outside the Premier League left in this year's Carabao Cup and Chelsea have drawn them. The Blues will head to the Cardiff City Stadium in December to take on the Welshmen, who defeated Wrexham in this week's Fourth Round, while Enzo Maresca's men were edging a nervy tie at Wolves 4-3. There are five sides from the capital among the last eight, but only one of them has been dr

But what was in store on the pitch?... : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Chelsea (1) 1 Garnacho 4 Sunderland (1) 2 Isidor 22, Talbi 90+3 No District Line in operation and no guile from their side either for Chelsea fans. Here was an afternoon for them to forget - with a defeat to pour a heavy dollop of cold water over their expectations. Chelsea's bid to keep recent momentum going after four straight wins was given the perfect fillip after just four minutes when Alejandro

And an utter embarrassment for the once mighty Ajax. The multiple Euro champions were reduced very early on to 10 men and offering scant resistance as a far-from full-strength Chelsea strolled through the gears. Six years ago, the
