Chelsea's players have come in for heavy criticism after being filmed walking straight past a group of excited young Hull City mascots before the FA Cup fourth-round tie between the two clubs. Blues stars including club captain Reece James, Estevao Willian and Joao Pedro can be seen passing by the children without acknowledging them, with the incident sparking widespread outrage on social media.

Eden Hazard has opened up on some of the 'really bad' clashes with Jose Mourinho during their time together at Chelsea. The Belgian winger moved to Stamford Bridge in 2012 and established himself as a fan favourite during his seven years at Stamford Bridge before he went on to sign for La Liga giants Real Madrid in 2019 having won the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League with the Blues.

Cesc Fabregas launched a stunning rant towards Como striker Alvaro Morata on Saturday after the Spaniard picked up two yellow cards in two minutes to see his marching orders in his side's 2-1 defeat to Fiorentina. Morata had been introduced as a second-half substitute but lost his cool to pick up two rapid bookings as his side searched for an equaliser, leading to harsh criticism from Fabregas, who suggested the striker should "change careers".

Cole Palmer spent Valentine's Day in Dubai with girlfriend Olivia Holder while Chelsea cruised past Hull City in the FA Cup, running out 4-0 winners. The England attacker was rested and did not travel with the squad, instead taking a short mid-season break before returning to training ahead of the Premier League run-in under new head coach Liam Rosenior.

Chelsea had a quiet January transfer window but did enquire about the possibility of landing a key star from Premier League rivals Tottenham. Spurs are in the midst of another difficult campaign and have just replaced manager Thomas Frank with Igor Tudor until the end of the 2025-26 season. Tudor takes over with Tottenham currently just five points above the relegation zone.

Chelsea striker Liam Delap has opened up on his horror miss for the Blues against Hull City in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday night. The striker thought he had opened the scoring after blocking an attempted clearance from goalkeeper Dillon Phillips. Delap even started to celebrate before watching on as the ball struck the underside of the crossbar and then bounced away from goal.

Hull City have confirmed arrests have been made after discriminatory chanting was heard during the 4-0 FA Cup defeat to Chelsea on Friday night. The Championship club's public address system sounded a warning to supporters to cease during the first half, warning supporters that chanting of a discriminatory nature is a criminal offence.

Chelsea thumped Hull City 4-0 to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup on Friday evening. Pedro Neto scored a hat-trick, including a goal directly from a corner, and Estevao also hit the back of the net as the Blues thumped Liam Rosenior's old employers.

Robinho Jr only turned 18 in December, but he has already broken into the senior team at Santos, where he is now rubbing shoulders with Brazil's all-time record goal-scorer, Neymar. The teenager is already attracting transfer interest from a host of top European clubs, partly because of his ability, but also due to the footballing legacy of his father.

By his own admission, Cole Palmer still isn't fully fit as he grapples with a niggling groin issue that has plagued him all season long. The scary thing is, we're starting to see the Chelsea talisman at something close to his best despite his ongoing injury troubles, and the timing of his recent uptick in form could be perfect as he eyes a place in Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the 2026 World Cup.
