Chelsea will be hoping to carry their momentum from their 2-0 win over Servette in midweek over to this weekend, as they look to secure Enzo Maresca's first Premier League victory as Blues manager against Wolves, at the Molineux on Sunday evening, 25th August, 2025, 15:00 UK time. Gary O'Neil's side have won their last three Premier League games against Chelsea though, the same amount as they had done in their previous 17 meetings. The Blues have also failed to keep a clean sheet on the road in their last 16 matches, their longest run in the league since 1994. There is some good news for Chelsea though, with new signing Joao Felix set to play this weekend after he arrived on a seven-year deal from Atletico Madrid earlier this week. But what other stars will be available for the clash and who will miss out? Cole Palmer The Chelsea star was spotted hobbling straight down the tunnel in midweek after coming on as a substitute in the second h

Enzo Maresca has been looking into how to get a perfect squad ahead of the season, as he is set to revenge the 0-2 defeat of the Premier League kick-off against Wolves in the upcoming game. Meanwhile, a lot of options have been listed with recent evidence, signifying that Chelsea could get a deal done possibly before the window shuts down. Chelsea look to have gained a Victor Osimhen transfer advantage following Napoli’s 3-0 Serie A defeat to Verona at the weekend. The Blues have already held talks over the potential loan signing of Osimhen, with Romelu Lukaku heading the other way, though the Italian club remains keen on him sealing a permanent exit. The Nigeria international, despite reporting to pre-season training, was left out of the Napoli squad for a friendly against Girona, with that decision repeated in the Coppa Italia victory over Modena. Unsurprisingly, he was also absent from the group that kicked off Napoli’s Serie A campaign on Saturday

Todd Boehly took over the course of Chelsea’s ownership two years ago. According to reports from close sources, Chelsea have been rumored to return to their former owner, as more decisions are yet to be finalized. Former Russia striker Dmitry Bulykin has told Chelsea they need to get Roman Abramovich back to the club. According to him, the Blues can’t win another trophy unless they allow his countryman to buy back the club. Peers have criticized the UK government for failing to agree a deal with the former Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, to spend £2.5 billion from his sale of the London football club. Members of the House of Lords’ European Affairs Committee have described ministers’ failure to spend the money on Ukraine as “incomprehensible,” nearly two years after the sale was agreed. The government agreed to allow Abramovich to sell Chelsea in 2022 even though he was under sanctions as one of seven Russian “pro-Kremlin” oligarchs, on the co

The English Football Association (FA) is facing mounting pressure to revise its handball rule after a controversial incident involving Chelsea during their recent match against Manchester City. The Blues were denied a clear penalty after Mateo Kovacic's handball incident in the City penalty area, sparking outrage among fans, players, and pundits alike. The incident has reignited the debate surrounding the handball rule, with many critics arguing that the current interpretation is too subjective and often leads to inconsistent decisions. The lack of clarity surrounding what constitutes a handball offense has been a long-standing issue in football, and the Chelsea incident has brought the problem into sharp focus. Leading pundits have been unanimous in their condemnation of the decision, with many suggesting that the referee made a clear error of judgment. Former players and managers have also weighed in on the debate, calling for a more definitive h

DONE DEAL: Joao Felix has now returned to Chelsea after saying yes to a deal bid of £56 million offered by Chelsea. Chelsea have reunited in their pursuit of Joao Felix to further bolster Enzo Maresca’s attacking prowess this season, with a lot of speculation going on between the two clubs. According to reports from the Athletic, Chelsea could sign the young star, but it remains to be seen if his would fit Enzo Maresca’s style of play. Joao Felix feels like a luxury. That is the sort of player he is and with Chelsea’s current options in attack, adding him in the next couple of weeks would fit the description of that word. There is no denying Felix’s talent. It is simply extraordinary. But there are doubts whether he will fit into the system under Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge. The 24-year-old is one of those players that can be used sort of anywhere on the front line. A Swiss Army knife. This is the sort of player Maresca wants at the club,

Man United have agreed £94.2m terms in fee and wages to sign De Ligt from Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window, as per reports. The Dutch international had already agreed on a contract that will make him earn £200,000 a week, £52m in the next five years. However, the Red Devils were stalling on reaching an agreement over the fee and were not prepared to meet the asking price of 50 million euros, £42.2m. Now, Man Utd have agreed the exact fee with Bayern Munich to finally sign Matthijs de Ligt. The Old Trafford outfit had a habit of paying over the odds to secure signings and supporters expected that to change under the ownership of Jim Ratcliffe. In all fairness, taking into consideration the transfer business in this summer transfer window, nothing has changed. Man Utd paid more than the release clause set by Bologna to sign Joshua Zirkzee from the Italian club. Moreover, the 20-time English champions paid 70 million euros for an unproven youngster in the form of Leny Yoro, who

Pedro Neto has spoken for the first time since Chelsea confirmed his £54million move from Wolves. The 24-year-old, who was introduced to the Chelsea supporters at half-time during their final pre-season friendly against Inter Milan, has joined the Blues on a seven-year contract and will begin training with his new teammates at Cobham in the coming days. Neto scored three goals and added 11 assists in just 24 appearances last season. And now, after signing a long-term deal in west London, Neto has admitted he is buzzing to get started. “I feel really grateful to have joined this club,” Neto told the Chelsea club website. “I have worked really hard in my career to be here and I’m looking forward to getting on the pitch with this shirt.” Having started his career at Braga, Neto was sent out on loan to Lazio for two years in August 2017 but he didn’t make his senior debut until 16 months later. He made just four first-team appearances for the Serie A club before making a switch to Wolves u
