  31 August 2025, Stamford Bridge The west London derby between Chelsea and Fulham represents a rivalry based more on geography than balanced results. The Opta supercomputer gives the home side a 59.4% chance of victory in Saturday's encounter. Chelsea's historical dominance The Premier League record speaks clearly - 22 wins for Chelsea against three for Fulham. Of teams that have played the Cottagers more than six times, only Manchester United (2.30) and Arsenal (2.22) have a better points-per-match average than Chelsea (2.14). However, Fulham can draw confidence from last season's rare 2-1 triumph at Stamford Bridge, which ended a 21-game winless streak against Chelsea in all competitions. They have never won consecutive matches at Stamford Bridge, though. Current team form Chelsea started the season similarly to last year - failing to score in a home match (1-1 with Crystal Palace) but then netting five goals away (5-0 West Ham). João Pedro shines with four goals ...

17 August 2025 Chelsea enters the new season with Moisés Caicedo as one of the most active defensive players in the Premier League. The Ecuadorian midfielder was among five players last season who attempted more than 100 tackles (114 – average 3.1 per 90 minutes). However, his aggressive style of play was also reflected in discipline, as he conceded the joint-third most fouls in the division (70 – average 1.9 per 90 minutes). Cole Palmer confirmed his versatility as one of only four Premier League players with a minimum of 900 minutes played who achieved an average of at least 2.5 shots per 90 minutes (3.6) and simultaneously at least 2.5 chances created per 90 minutes (2.5). The English midfielder averaged 0.65 goal involvements per match, making him a key figure in the Blues' attacking phase. Crystal Palace will rely on Daniel Muñoz, who became the second most active tackling player in the league with 123 challenges, surpassed only by Idrissa Gueye (133). However, the Colombi...

Concrete Interest from Chelsea The most concrete option at the moment are Chelsea.

Transfer History from Leipzig If an agreement can be reached, Simons would ...

  Noni Madueke looks set to become the latest player to play in the Premier League for both Arsenal and Chelsea. But how many players have previously done so, and how does that compare to other pairs of clubs in the competition? Madueke Heading to Arsenal It's expected Noni Madueke will make the short journey across London to join Arsenal from Chelsea before the start of the 2025-26 Premier League season. Some Arsenal fans have expressed their annoyance at their club giving yet more money to their London rivals for a player deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge. Before Kepa Arrizabalaga's move this summer, Kai Havertz was the last to make the switch back in June 2023 for a reported fee of £65m, while Jorginho made the same journey from south-west to north London only six months earlier. Arsenal and Chelsea: 15 Shared Players Havertz and Jorginho help make up a group of 15 players who have played for both Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League, joining t...

  July 13, 2025 Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain will meet in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 final in a historic clash that represents the first major international final between teams from England and France.

Head-to-Head Record and History Chelsea and PSG last met in the Round of 16 of the 2015-16 Champions League, where the French team advanced with an aggregate score of 4-2 after wins in both legs. Prior to this encounter, the Blues had only one defeat from six meetings (2 wins, 3 draws).

  May 28, 2025   Chelsea vs Real Betis   Wrocław Stadium, Poland We have what could be the most historic European final of our time ahead of us! Chelsea can achieve in Polish Wrocław what no one before them has managed - winning all five major UEFA competitions! Real Betis, meanwhile, are fighting for a European trophy for the first time in their history! This is a David vs Goliath story that could rewrite football history. Chelsea stand before an incredible opportunity. They already have the Champions League (2012, 2021), Europa League (2013, 2019), UEFA Super Cup (1998, 2021), and Cup Winners' Cup (1971, 1998). Only the Conference League is missing for them to become the first club in history with a complete collection of all major UEFA trophies. This is the moment every Chelsea fan has waited for their entire life. Enzo Maresca has the chance to enter history in his first season with the Blues. Chelsea's path to the final was clinical - the Premier League giant was...

  Brentford – Chelsea April 6th, 2025 The West London derby between Brentford and Chelsea offers a clash between two teams struggling at their stadiums. The home "Bees" have not won at Gtech Community Stadium for seven matches in a row (2 draws, 5 losses), which represents their worst home run since nine games without a win between September and December 2006. Chelsea is no better off. The "Blues" have lost four away league games in a row, and if they fail again this time, they would match their longest away losing streak in the last 25 years. The last time Chelsea fell five times in a row at opponents' stadiums was between October and December 2000. The Stamford Bridge team's record away from home in all competitions is alarming. From their last ten away matches, Coach Endy's men have managed to win only twice - in Kazakhstan (3-1 against Astana) and in Denmark (2-1 against FC Copenhagen). They haven't won away on English soil for eight consecu...

    Chelsea – Tottenham Hotspur April 3rd, 2025 Chelsea has Tottenham figured out like an open book. The Blues have lost only one of their last 12 Premier League matches against their London rival, winning the last three duels with an impressive score of 10:4. Stamford Bridge has become a nightmare for Spurs, and manager Ange Postecoglou could establish an unflattering record - no Tottenham manager in history has lost his first four league games against Chelsea. Chelsea's historical dominance is stunning. Against no other opponent have the Blues won more matches (36) and scored more goals (120) in the Premier League than against Tottenham. Only three teams in the history of the competition have scored more goals against one specific opponent - Arsenal and Manchester United against Everton and Liverpool against Newcastle (all 124). Tottenham has significant problems with London derbies this season. With just 10 points (3 wins, 1 draw, 5 losses), they are, together with Bre...
