🚨 Maresca hints at rotation between Pedro - Delap depending on the game plan :

“Joao probably in the small space gives us more than Liam. Liam probably gives us a bit more in terms of physicality and runs in behind. It depends on the game plan we have”

🚨 Maresca: “I’m very happy with Andrey and very happy with Andrey staying here with us. He can play in Enzo’s position for sure, he can play in Moi’s position for sure.”

🚨 Chelsea insist there is no promise of a move to Stamford Bridge for Enciso. It is up to the player to play well enough at Strasbourg to be considered for the future. BlueCo convinced him of this plan.

Reece James:

"I would say, Thiago Silva [has had the biggest impact on my career so far]. He's nearly old enough to be my dad and he's played the game at the highest level for so long. He always tried to help me from the minute he arrived to still, even now."

Chelsea are 14th in the latest UEFA Club coefficient ranking.

Do you agree?

John Obi Mikel on Jackson:

🗣 “I hope he stays because I still think he has a massive part to play this season. He’s a fantastic player, the qualities and what he brings to this football club. I think we need that.”

Tonight could see Reece James start four Premier League games in a row for the first time since April 2023.

West Ham home league wins in 2025: 2.
Chelsea away league wins in 2025: 2.

Who is a better fit to start upfront against West Hame and why.

👍 Delap or Pedro ❤️

Paul Merson questions Chelsea's model:

🗣 "It's a football club, you want to win things. I don't want to go to Stamford Bridge in 10 years time and I look around the stadium and it goes, Chelsea made £60m that year, £130m that year, I want to see trophies printed around like before, and one of the main ones is the Premier League.

So for me, is it working? I don't know at the moment. You have to wait and see on that. Are they title material this season? No, not title material. I think the most important thing is to get in the top four or five again and keep on steadily. They're a bit behind the big boys at the moment."

100th game, and Captain tonight. 🔥
