The Blues haven’t enjoyed the best of starts to their season and currently sit 11th on the tables with eight points from six games. Frank Lampard’s men produced a determined performance in a 2-1 loss against Liverpool and will have a lot of positives to take from that game going forward. The Blues secured a massive 7-1 victory over Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup during midweek, which will give them some sort of momentum going into the game against Brighton....

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, AS Roma have agreed on a €40 million fee plus add-ons to sign Tammy Abraham from Chelsea. The Serie A side have beaten the likes of Arsenal and West Ham to land the Chelsea forward. However, it is interesting for Chelsea to have included such a large buy-back clause. The Blues clearly believe in Tammy Abraham’s ability to score a plethora of goals in Serie A....

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has hinted he could look to bring Ake back to Stamford Bridge, describing him as an “interesting opportunity in this window for us”. And Howe accepted he might imminently lose the versatile 21-year-old, who joined Bournemouth on a season-long loan back in June. “It looks like that will be the case,” Howe said. “It’s not 100 per cent finalised yet. Conte considering bringing Ake back...

Chelsea’s midfield has been lacking creativity. Possession has not been a problem but there is no creative spark to unlock the defenses. AVB has been rotating the midfield for almost every game and its unfortunate that we still don’t know which is our best XI. I would not be giving a verdict for every position like I have given earlier for the first part because most of the midfielders like Essien, Lampard and Mereiles are very versatile and can play wherever the situation demands....

Leonardo Jardim’s squad was mostly composed of young, inexperienced players, and this fact gives extra weight to their success. Given their finances in comparison to big rivals, they were unable to retain most of their young talents - so Kylian Mbappé, Benjamin Mendy, Bernardo Silva and Tiemoué Bakayoko all left for pastures new. Chelsea’s French connection In the past, Chelsea have enjoyed some excellent experiences with players acquired from Ligue 1....

That result in the French capital remains Guus Hiddink’s only defeat in 17 matches since returning to Stamford Bridge, and he is available at +180 with the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook to get his own back with a victory in the second leg. Les Parisiens have never won in three previous visits to west London in this competition but are slight +160 favorites to come out on top. The visitors went through on away goals after securing a 2-2 draw at this stadium in last season’s round of 16, and you can get odds of +230 on them progressing to the quarterfinals via another stalemate this time out....

In today’s edition, we bring to you the latest updates on Chelsea’s interest in Barcelona No.1 Ter Stegen, an impending transfer battle over a midfield prodigy with arch-rivals Real Madrid and more. Chelsea planning an audacious swoop for Ter Stegen in the summer According to SPORT, Chelsea want to sign Marc-André ter Stegen this summer if Barça are willing to negotiate for their star goalkeeper. It is understood that manager Frank Lampard wants their current goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, whom The Blues paid a whopping £71....

Super Kings have been the most settled team. They had the best combination in all the seasons as each and every player chipped in with contributions at vital circumstances. Mahendra Singh Dhoni would be pleased with Hussey’s presence at the start of the season. That was the drawback for them in the last season, which forced Dhoni to shuffle his side constantly. Currently, they have full strength squad against Mumbai Indians....

Although it’s possible that having chest pain and headache at the same time could be the result of an urgent issue such as a stroke, more likely, your symptoms are the result of a non-life-threatening condition such as anxiety. This article examines the causes and possible treatments of chest pain and headache, plus when to see a healthcare provider and when to call 911. Causes of Chest Pain and Headache There are several medical conditions in which both chest pain and headache could occur at the same time....

There’s little to dislike in a player whose first-class average is a shade under sixty. Granted, most of that experience has come in his own country, but it’s still highly impressive. He will have a maximum of eight first-class innings (which will make him long-serving compared to Chris Harris) and should create a massive interest among the local ethnic community. It is good to see the bonds built earlier in the season, for the visit of the Indian tourists, bearing fruit, though whether this was ever on the agenda at that stage is unlikely....

Chia seeds have become a popular food in recent years due to a variety of factors. Although chia seeds are mostly known for contributing to the popular gift, the Chia pet, they are also high in many nutrients— including soluble fiber, healthy fats, antioxidants, minerals, and B vitamins. The health benefits of consuming chia seeds have also been looked at in certain medical conditions, such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes....

In an interview with CNN’s State of the Union Sunday morning, Lightfoot called the president’s offer to “solve” Chicago’s soaring murder rate by sending in 50,000 to 75,000 federal personnel to the city “classic Trump hyperbole.” She argued the issue lies with an influx of firearms from outside of Illinois, where she said 60 percent of the city’s guns originate. “We are being inundated with guns from states that have virtually no gun control, no background checks, no ban on assault weapons,” Lightfoot said....

While teachers and other school staff stayed home over the five days classes were canceled, lunchroom attendants continued to return to in-person work to keep nutritional support services operational. The district served more than 48,000 meal kits last week, averaging 9,600 meals a day, according to CPS Press Secretary Sylvia Barragan. “Take-home breakfasts and lunches were made available daily at schools from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. for any community member under the age of 18 who needed a meal,” she told Newsweek....

“A decision will be taken soon that Russian athletes will file a collective lawsuit with the CAS to defend their right to compete in the Rio Olympics. Clean athletes should go to Rio,” he was quoted as saying by TASS. “I hope the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) will soon admit such athletes and they will be able to compete in Rio. They have been involved in no doping scandals....

Michael Fawcett resigned from Charles’ service for the third time last weekend, albeit temporarily, as The Prince’s Foundation conducts an investigation. The probe will examine allegations that he offered to help a Saudi billionaire who had donated to Charles’ charity empire secure a knighthood and British citizenship. The claims come six months after Charles survived Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Oprah Winfrey interview with his reputation mostly intact, polling suggests....

Mauricio Pochettino’s side are four points adrift of the Premier League leaders after embarking on a brilliant nine-match winning streak, their latest success coming against north London rivals Arsenal at White Hart Lane on Sunday. Henry: Spurs have nothing on Arsenal However, Chelsea responded to a damaging 2-0 loss at Manchester United last month with comprehensive wins over Southampton and Everton. And with a favourable run in that sees them play Middlesbrough, West Brom, Watford and Sunderland, Antonio Conte’s men remain strong favourites to win the title....

Their City. Their Stadium. Our Trophy. 19th May 2012 - the day no Chelsea fan will ever forget. While every other club fan called it a boring final, only Chelsea fans saw it in a different way. Ten soldiers and a brick wall on the battlefield keeping the insurgency from entering the palace. With John Terry suspended, Chelsea went into the match with Frank Lampard as their captain. Cech along with the Chelsea defender was in full form that at night....

The 24-year-old has enjoyed a stellar season, scoring 18 goals and making 10 assists in all competitions as Chelsea close in on a first Premier League title since 2010. The Belgian footballer has been nominated for the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) Player and Young Player of the Year award after another fine English Premier League campaign, notching 13 goals and eight assists in the competition alone. “He’s a kid, but he is also a family man and he knows he is one of the three best players in the world, responsibility comes with that and he is coping with that responsibility,” Mourinho was quoted as saying on Monday....

But the Blues got off to the worst possible start when they opened their campaign with a 3-2 defeat to Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Chelsea 14/1 to win Champions League After a Gary Cahill red card within 15 minutes, a Sam Vokes double and a goal from Stephen Ward gave Sean Dyche’s team a three-goal lead at the break. Chelsea fought back to score two goals, but were reduced to nine men when Cesc Fabregas was dismissed and were unable to net an equaliser....
