Chelsea news

Saturday's Premier League clash between Chelsea and West Ham at Stamford Bridge ended in chaotic scenes after the Blues scored a late winner to make it 3-2 and complete a dramatic comeback. A mass brawl then erupted in stoppage time with both sets of players involved which led to West Ham defender Todibo being shown a straight red card for violent conduct.

Chelsea have suffered a blow in the build up to their Premier League clash against West Ham United with Estevao Willian having been left out of Saturday’s fixture at Stamford Bridge. The Brazil star, who has been in excellent form for the Blues, is absent from the matchday squad as the club go in search of a sixth win from their first seven games under manager Liam Rosenior.

Chelsea's star player Cole Palmer has been caught up in a row with his neighbours over potential plans to build a gym in his home. The England international has been hoping to add an outside gym to his garden in the mansion he lives in near the Blues' training ground in Surrey, but will face opposition from a neighbour who is reportedly unhappy with the supposed new build plans.

Chelsea winger Tyrique George could be on the move before the January window closes as Everton have reportedly made an offer to sign the youngster on an initial loan with an option to buy. The Toffees are looking to strengthen their options out wide after Jack Grealish was ruled out for the season with a foot stress fracture which requires surgery.

Enzo Fernandez is reportedly among a group of Chelsea players who feel their recent performances should prompt fresh talks about a new contract. The Argentine has been linked with interest from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain but he still has more than six years on his current deal. Blues boss Liam Rosenior is keen to retain the midfielder but whether he stays at the club next season remains to be seen.

Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has revealed that even his own children have laughed at memes comparing him to The Office’s David Brent and Will from The Inbetweeners. The Blues manager has made an impressive start to life at Stamford Bridge following his appointment earlier this month, but that hasn’t stopped him from becoming the butt of online jokes.

Chelsea are reportedly keen on recalling another loanee as Liam Rosenior seeks to bolster his centre-back options. The Blues have been keen on signing Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet but that deal is proving difficult. Rather than splashing the cash yet again, it seems the Stamford Bridge outfit are keen on making better use of players on their own books for the second half of the season.

Lucas Paqueta has claimed that two Premier League giants wanted him before he completed a switch from West Ham to Flamengo. The playmaker has been linked with a move back to his native Brazil for months now but it took until Friday for the £36.5 million ($50m) transfer to actually happen. But if two English sides had got their way, the 28-year-old may still be a Premier League player.

How to watch the Premier League match between Chelsea and West Ham, as well as kick-off time and team news.

Mykhailo Mudryk is being prevented from doing his day job at the moment, with a suspension being served at Chelsea due to alleged doping violations, but he is keeping himself amused away from the football field. The Ukrainian winger has indulged in some playful flirting with American actor and social media star Jordyn Jones, with a possible romance on the cards there.

Jamie Carragher has sought to defend Raheem Sterling from any criticism, following his release by Chelsea, with the England international considered to be seriously “underrated”. The Premier League title-winning ex-Manchester City star is now looking for a new challenge at 31 years of age, with a former team-mate from his days at Anfield hoping that a “fitting finale” to a distinguished career can be found.

Danny Murphy has hailed Declan Rice as the "most complete midfielder in Europe" but warned the Arsenal star he still has one final hurdle to clear before he can be compared to Premier League icons Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. The former Liverpool man believes the £105 million ace needs to start producing "magic moments" in major finals to cement his legacy.

Another transfer window and another highly-rated prospect is on their way to Chelsea. The club's youth policy has struck again, with the west Londoners landing 17-year-old full-back Yisa Alao from financially troubled Sheffield Wednesday. Despite his very limited experience at senior level, the teenager provoked a transfer tug-of-war between three Premier League giants, but it is the Blues who have emerged victorious.
