WATCH: Noni Madueke pulls one back for Chelsea against Aston Villa! 1-2!
Aston Villa have been quite lax after building a 2-0 lead, and Chelsea ain’t happy about it! The Blues’ midfield and attacking line push forward to press the Villans as they try to play the ball from the back. The ball falls to Conor Gallagher who’s fouled in the area for an apparent penalty, and then lands on Noni Madueke whose powerful finish is enough to beat the host’s goalkeeper.

Chelsea fans’ choice lineup against Aston Villa: Save us, Cole Palmer!
Eight of the eleven starters collected over 85% from the WAGH Community, which once again illustrates that our rotation options aren’t necessarily as bountiful as the squad size might indicate. Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, Moisés Caicedo, Conor Gallagher, Marc Cucurella, randomly dropped center back pairing Thiago Silva and Trevoh Chalobah, and goalkeeper Đorđe Petrović all got at least 86%, with all but Jackson collecting over 90%. With injuries claiming all of our actual right backs, it looks...

Aston Villa vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
There is a very important Chelsea game happening on Saturday. This is not it. This one’s pretty much an afterthought, perhaps even for those actually involved in it. Mauricio Pochettino sort-of, kind-of semi-assured us that we haven’t actually given up on the season yet. Except he didn’t do that; he just said that playing for Chelsea should be motivation enough to get up for any game. That may have been true once. But on the evidence of the last couple seasons, that’s not the case anymore....

WATCH: Erin Cuthbert opens the scoring for Chelsea against Barcelona! 1-0!
Great moves from Sjoeke Nüsken to keep the ball in the area, as Mayra Ramírez does all the work to push Chelsea Women forward. She eventually lays it to Erin Cuthbert, whose powerful shot beats Barcelona goalkeeper Catarina Coll for the opening goal at their turf in this UEFA Women’s Champions League semifinal.

Barcelona vs. Chelsea, Women's Champions League semifinal: Confirmed lineups; how to watch
There won’t be a bigger challenge this season for Chelsea Women, then this very match against Barcelona at their home stadium in the UEFA Women’s Champions League semifinal first leg. Barça haven’t lost a single match in almost an entire year, and their manager, Jonatan Giráldez, wants to end his reign at the club with back-to-back CL titles. Emma Hayes wants to go out of Chelsea on top as well, and there wouldn’t be a better way to do so than winning the Champions League for the first time in...

Manchester City vs. Chelsea, FA Cup semifinal: Preview, team news, how to watch
Almost exactly a month away from the end of the season, Chelsea have a chance to finish things on a positive note, both in the league and in the FA Cup. In the former, we’re within shouting distance of a top-six finish. In the latter, we’re a win away from a(nother) final, and two wins away from ending a previously unfathomable two-year trophy drought. Both routes would also lead us back into Europe. Predicting the outcome of this final month is surely a futile exercise. Our only consistency...

Chelsea vs. Aston Villa, Women’s Super League: Preview, team news, how to watch
In Emma Hayes’ final season, Chelsea won’t be lifting a domestic cup for the first time since 2020. But the chase for silverware is far from over, with the Blues still firmly in the title race for the Women’s Super League. A bit of a pick-me-up after back-to-back cup defeats would be more than welcome. Aston Villa, against whom we have a perfect record, could be just what the doctor ordered. Date / Time: Wednesday, April 17, 2024, 19.00 GMT; 2pm EDT; 12:30am IST (next day)Venue: Kingsmeadow,...
