Chelsea Newsletter: Friday 17th Feb

Covering: Southampton preview and predictions, Pick your own Xl, We've needed a striker since Costa, A picture tells a thousand words, Plus all the latest Chelsea news and transfer rumours!

Morning all,

It’s the weekend again and the focus for Chelsea, for now at least, is back to the Premier League.

We have a golden opportunity to finally get three points on the board alongside a convincing and good performance. It’s felt like it’s been coming in the last couple of games, and against bottom of the league Southampton, you won’t get a better chance to shine and get that important win. I’ve got a preview and predictions article here to kick things off today.

I’ve also given you a chance to select YOUR Chelsea starting Xl for The Saints game here. Please do vote as I’ll be sticking the result on the site later on today!

Check in on the latest live blog here next to get all your Chelsea news, quotes, and transfer news from the last 24 hours.

One of the big conclusions from pundits this week after our loss at Dortmund was that we lack a true number nine and should have signed one in January. It’s of course easy to say that, but these things are often a lot more complex. I’ve got my thoughts on it here.

One picture really stood out to me from the Dortmund defeat, and it came right at the end of the game. I think it tells a thousand words, and I’ll explain why in this one here to conclude for today, and for the week!

Oh, and we did release our latest Podcast episode yesterday dissecting the Dortmund game some more and looking ahead to The Saints game on Saturday! You can catch it here if you haven’t yet.

I hope you all have an enjoyable weekend, and Joshua (you best be reading now), Happy Birthday for tomorrow mate and let’s hope Chelsea bring you that win!!

COME ON CHELSEA!!! #UTC!!

Peace, Si.
