After only a couple of months away, the Premier League roared back into life this weekend as a host of new signings made their debuts. There were wins for Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle while Chelsea and Liverpool played out a pulsating draw and Tottenham began life without Harry Kane with a point at Brentford. The first round of matches will have also highlighted to managers the areas they still need to strengthen before the transfer window closes on September 1. Moises Caicedo will have been an interesting spectator at Stamford Bridge, with the Brighton midfielder set to make the move…
In the second half, VAR looked at a possible handball from the Chelsea summer signing, but it opted against sending the on-field referee to the monitor despite calls from the Liverpool side. At first glance, Neville thought that Nicolas Jackson was in trouble and VAR would intervene, but upon second viewing, he felt that his hands being close to his body helped his cause, as he told Sky Sports Premier League (13/08/23). As play continued, cameras then picked up Jackson’s reaction to all of that and how the 22-year-old thought that the ball didn’t even hit his hand, and instead, hit him in the…
Mauricio Pochettino’s side kicked off their 2023/24 campaign against Jürgen Klopp’s men in west London today without a sponsor on the famous blue shirt, which left a number of people confused. So, why do Chelsea not have a sponsor? Let’s take a look… Why do Chelsea not have a sponsor? Well, the reason for this is actually quite simple. Chelsea’s three-year contract with 3 UK expired at the end of last season, meaning the Blues were left needing a new sponsorship deal. There was an agreement with Paramount Plus – a streaming service based in the United States – although…
As the Blues draw with Liverpool, Mauricio Pochettino’s first Chelsea game is over. There appears to be a game plan in place for Chelsea to play some interesting football this season, even though it is too early to draw any major conclusions from a single match. The club is expected to announce the signing of Moises Caicedo in due time, with Fabrizio Romano already giving it a “here we go.” There are conflicting reports on how far along Chelsea’s transfer for Romeo Lavia is, but everything suggests that the Belgian midfielder will be joining Caicedo at Stamford Bridge soon. Chelsea’s…
Chelsea are seemingly competing for almost every player on the planet as they look to add new names to their squad for the 2023/24 season. With Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia the two highest profile targets at this stage, Michael Olise remains on the cards whilst Brighton are yet to confirm Mohammed Kudus and a new goalkeeper is also in order. It all bodes for an extremely interesting final three weeks of the summer window. One player they have long been after but failed to sign is Ousmane Dembele. The tricky winger was in the mix to arrive in 2022…
Roy Keane has described Liverpool as “fairly average” after they were held 1-1 by Chelsea. The Reds got off to a strong start and lead through Luis Diaz after the Colombian steered home from Mohamed Salah’s incisive pass. Liverpool doubled their lead through the Egyptian but he was adjudged to have been offside as Trent Alexander-Arnold set him through on goal. Axel Disasi opened his Chelsea account to restore parity after scrambling the ball past Alisson. The Londoners were then left disappointed by VAR after Ben Chillwell’s goal was chalked off. Liverpool are looking to banish the memories of their…

Liverpool fans were on the verge of meltdown after it emerged Chelsea are reportedly nearing the signings of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia. Both the Reds and the Blues have been in the market for a new defensive midfielder this summer – with the former making Lavia their priority and the latter focusing on Caicedo. Both transfer sagas took major twists this week with the Premier League rivals bidding for each other’s No. 1 targets. Caicedo, 21, made it clear he only wants to head to Stamford Bridge, though. According to Fabrizio Romano late on Sunday (August 13) night, his £115m move has…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp took a pop at Chelsea, who look set to pip his side to the British record signing of Moises Caicedo. The two Premier League heavyweights went head-to-head on Sunday, contesting an entertaining 1-1 draw in their first game of the season. Speculation around Caicedo’s club future hit top gear on Friday, when Liverpool were reported to have gazumped Chelsea in a secret auction with Brighton by slapping £110million on the table. Shortly afterwards, Klopp confirmed that a fee had been agreed with the Seagulls, but there was to be an agonising twist in the tale as Caicedo is believed to have informed all parties…

Mohamed Salah and hosts full-back Ben Chilwell both saw goals chalked off for offside via VAR, with the sides having to settle for a point apiece amid a topsy-turvy encounter.
