HELLO AND WELCOME TO TODAY'S LIVE STREAM! Chelsea host Arsenal in a showdown between the Premier League’s top two this afternoon. With Liverpool’s title defence already crashing and burning and Manchester City still consistently inconsistent, Chelsea have emerged as Arsenal’s latest challengers for the throne. The Gunners remain in remarkable form, sweeping aside Tottenham and Bayern Munich in the last week and are six points clear at the summit of English football. Second place Chelsea can reduce the gap today and give their own title hopes a huge boost as we head into the frantic festive period. A sensational win over Barcelona midweek has Enzo Maresca’s side flying and will be all the motivation they need going into this fixture.  Per team news,  here's how both teams lineup: Chelsea XI to face Arsenal : Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; James (c), Caicedo; Estevao, Fernandez, Neto; Joao Pedro,  Bench : Jorgensen, Acheampong, Tosin, Badiashile, Santos, Palme...

 Well, here we go Chelsea, Barca, Champions League. These are the games football dreams are made of. These are the games that can define seasons. These are the games that can live on in history, in memory forever. Let’s make it iconic! Enzo Maresca, not unexpectedly, has opted for our “big-game” lineup, which features both Reece James and Malo Gusto, and this time around, features no recognized striker. Presumably, it’ll be Pedro Neto leading a fluid front line, which, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, does feature Estevao from the start! Big stage, big opportunity for the wonderboy. Welcome back, Andreas Christensen! Here we go. Chelsea starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Sanchez | Cucurella, Chalobah, Fofana, Gusto | Caicedo, James (c) | Garnacho, Enzo, Estevao | Neto Substitutes: Jorgensen, Acheampong, Tosin, Hato, Badiashile, Santos, Buonanotte, Gittens, George, Guiu, Joao Pedro, Delap Barcelona starting XI: Joan Garcia, Balde, R.Araujo, Cubarsi, Ferran, Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, Fermin, ...

 Enzo Fernandez doubled Chelsea's scoreline against Burnley,  sealing the win!  How it happened: Fernández’s goal came with two minutes left when Chelsea went from their backline to attack with a fast, passing attack. Neto eventually sent Marc Guiu away and the substitute muscled past Axel Tuanzebe before cutting back for Fernández.   WATCH GOAL BELOW: This Enzo Fernandez goal against Burnley is all about Marc Guiu. This boy deserves more chances and he is showing up to be a good player even than Delap. And what a pass by Pedro Neto pic.twitter.com/W37pvEs4nq — Albanus 10 (@Kiswili_10) November 22, 2025

● | REPLAY Pedro Neto's opening goal vs Burnley was such a beauty! Chelsea lead against Burnley! It was a dodgy start from Enzo Maresca’s men, but they’ve found their feet now and have taken the game to their opposition. It was a great goal overall. Trevoh Chalobah picked out a superb long ball to Marc Cucurella, who was making his usual disruptive channel run. The Spaniard was able to bring the ball down in the Burnley box and draw in several defenders, then release it to the now freed up Jamie Gittens. The winger looked up and played superb bending right footed cross from the edge of the box, in-swinging a ball that picked out Pedro Neto’s clever run from deep to the far post. The Portuguese made no mistake with a diving header, his fourth goal of an increasingly impressive Premier League season. You can see the goal in the clips embedded here: Nice goal from Chelsea.

 We’re back, baby!  Back to proper football … and hopefully back to more winning. We could use some consistency as we begin the long, four-month grind through the winter months. This isn’t the easiest game to start with, but it sure is easier than the next two coming up (Barcelona, Arsenal). Enzo Maresca has made a few changes away from what we might consider our strongest first-choice lineup, including starts for Tosin, Gittens, and Andrey Santos; hopefully we can still take care of business today. Lesley Ugochukwu starts for Scott Parker’s home side; Armando Broja is on the bench. Here we go! Burnley starting XI: Dúbravka | Walker, Hartman, Estève, Tuanzebe, Ugochukwu, Anthony, Florentino, Tchaouna, Flemming, Cullen Substitutes: Weiß, Bruun Larsen, Foster, Edwards, Ekdal, Pires, Broja, Hannibal, Laurent Chelsea starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Sánchez | Cucurella, Tosin, Chalobah, James (c) | Enzo, Santos | Gittens, João Pedro, Neto | Delap Substitutes: Jörgensen, Acheampong, Badi...

  Chelsea is hoping to seal back-to-back Premier League wins at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday. Chelsea has scored a total of 13 goals in its past three meetings with Wolverhampton Wanderers and welcomes the Midlands side to Stamford Bridge on Saturday. What’s more, the Blues are hoping to extend their three-match undefeated streak, which includes a narrow EFL Cup victory over who else but Wolves. That being said, Enzo Maresca’s men were disappointed to settle for a 2-2 draw in their trip to Azerbaijani outfit Qarabag in the Champions League on Wednesday. The manager made some changes to his XI for the European expedition but was ultimately left wanting as the west Londoners dropped vital points on the continent. Wolves, meanwhile, are currently unsettled after recently parting ways with head coach Vitor Pereira, and sit at the bottom of the Premier League, having yet to record a win this season. Interim coach James Collins is set to lead the team in their trip to the ...

  HELLO AND WELCOME TO TODAY'S LIVE STREAM! Tottenham Hotspur host Chelsea in the Premier League today as they look to maintain their strong start to the season. Spurs come into the weekend in the Champions League having won 3-0 away to Everton last weekend. Chelsea, meanwhile, were beaten 2-1 at home by newly promoted Sunderland and could finish the day in the bottom half. Short of ridiculous so far this season. Liam Delap was shown two yellow cards within seven minutes of being brought on from the bench in midweek and that made it five red cards in nine matches for Enzo Maresca's men. Can Chelsea end today's game without a red card ?  Plenty of changes for the visitors from their midweek win in the Carabao Cup — here is how they line up: Starting XI: Sanchez; James, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; Gusto, Caicedo; Neto, Fernandez, Garnacho; Joao Pedro.
