The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Friday 6th October 2023!
Morning all,
We are matchday minus one!
Chelsea are back in action tomorrow afternoon in the 3pm kick off. The confidence levels have risen off the back of two wins in a row now, and really, we simply must use that to go up north and get a win against Burnley tomorrow.

If you know, you know……
I have my full match preview article here which includes the latest Chelsea team news and injury news, all the facts ahead of the game, and my predicted and preferred lineup shouts.
You have the chance to pick YOUR preferred lineup for the game as well here, with some really big calls to make in a couple of positions. Get your coaching badges out!
One of the big debates might be about who starts up front on Saturday between Armando Broja and Nicolas Jackson. For me it is Jackson purely because I don’t think Broja is match fit enough to start again just yet after starting on Monday night and going off with fatigue. But is my decision the same in the long run? Read my thoughts and take part in that debate here.
A big sourced deep dive into the situation and future of Marc Cucurella next. His Chelsea career was all but over and he was close to joining Manchester United in the summer. But that didn’t happen and he is enjoying some starts now under Mauricio Pochettino. What actually happened with Cucurella and why wasn’t he performing to the levels we all expected? What is his future now looking like? Get the inside story here.
Now head to yesterday’s live blog here to get all your latest Chelsea news in one place across the last 24 hours. Quotes, news, transfer rumours, and so much more.
We also had our latest Podcast out yesterday with Dan Barker from The Chelsea Spot joining us with his inside academy info and insights. Dan was a great guest and joined myself and Jai. Do check that out here if you haven’t already.
