Southampton 1 Chelsea 5 - reactions, Maresca beaming with confidence, How many points will Chelsea get in next 8 games? Caicedo opens up on rough start to Blues career, News roundups, Much more...

The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Thursday 5th December 2024!

Morning all!

Last night was another Chelsea match day in the middle of the week, but this time it wasn’t a European game.

We had Premier League action last night at Southampton, and The Blues thrashed Southampton 5-1 away from home after The Saints had a player sent off for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair! It probably should have been many more goals for Chelsea as well as they increase pressure on Liverpool!

I couldn’t watch it live as I was playing myself, but we had our man Luke Rushbrook on the report and ratings. You can view that in here. I’ll post my reactions a bit later today I expect.

You can also round up all your latest Chelsea news from across the last 24 hours in the same place in here. This covers everything!

The rest of this content was written before the Saints game last night, but it’s all relevant obviously.

Enzo Maresca has been full of confidence this week and his optimism has been seeping through. He has zero doubts in his own ability and believes Chelsea will soon be dominating English football. Get all of his words and my reactions on them in here.

Now the Saints game was actually included in this, but I asked you all to vote on how many points you believe Chelsea will get across the next 9 league games with a ‘favourable’ schedule. You’ve all gone well in on full confidence in these results in here. There’s some mad optimism from the majority!!

Moises Caicedo has been the most consistent Chelsea performer so far this season and our best player overall in my opinion. I knew he would come good, but it was a tough start to his Blues career. He opens up on that in here and I give my views on it.

Do please join me on the next live blog from around 8.30am today! See you there!

Peace, Si.
