  Kai Havertz could become be the first Chelsea player to win a Premier League player of the month award since Eden Hazard in 2018, following his March nomination. The 22-year-old joins teammate Trevoh Chalobah among those put forward for the award. Thomas Tuchel's solution to the west London side's number nine woes has led the frontline to excellent effect, directly contributing towards five goals in three appearances. Havertz has grown into an integral figure for Chelsea in recent weeks amid the club's off-field ownership saga. The German international's finish against Newcastle, which has been nominated for Premier League goal of the month, typified his emergence as the Blues' talisman as he became the all-time top goalscorer of the Tuchel era. March has seen Havertz shift through the gears as he begins to answer his quest to fulfil Eden Hazard's role as the knight in shining armour at Stamford Bridge. Gary Neville tipped Havertz to emulat...

Reece James urged  people to value his former Chelsea teammate and lifelong friend Tammy Abraham more highly. Abraham certainly gained a few more admiring looks over the weekend after he cemented himself into Roma’s record books. The 24-year-old scored twice yesterday as Jose Mourinho’s side claimed a massive victory in the derby against Lazio. That means the England international has netted 23 times across all competitions this season, the most of any player in their debut campaign for Roma. He tops legendary centre-forward Gabriel Batistuta and Vincenzo Montella, who both managed 21 goals in their first terms as a Roman.

Saul Niguez probably won’t stay at Chelsea after this season, but given how it all started with a truly debut, he will leave having changed quite a few minds. He was never going to displace our very settled midfield when they were all fit, but his versatility has allowed him to get into the team here and there – including yesterday where he played at left wing back. It’s not his natural role, and it showed, but he did not embarrass himself by any means, and his hard work and intelligence shone through as the Blues turned the screw in the second half. WhoScored  had him on a 7.4 rating by full time, a really impressive score, and it is easy to see Saul as having displaced Callum Hudson-Odoi as Tuchel’s favoured backup to Marcos Alonso down that side now. With plenty of games still to come, we’re sure we will see the trick repeated a couple more times this season at least.

A familiar face could be returning to Stamford Bridge, and mixed reviews are ringing in and around the fanbase. Chelsea fans love a bit of sentiment, so when I heard that Eden Hazard is ready to come back to Stamford Bridge, it was no surprise that many were open to the idea. I would love to see the 31-year-old Belgian make a return, not because he is a good player, but because of sentiment. The last couple of years has shown Hazard to be injury-prone and far from a player that Real Madrid thought they’d be getting. Although it seems the majority are ready for Hazard to prove his critics wrong, others would not relish his return. But what if his return meant no room in the squad for another brilliant Premier League winger? Leeds winger, Raphinha is among several prospects Chelsea has been looking at for their summer transfer window. Whilst Leeds have suffered from poor results in their recent form. The Brazilian has been their clear stand-out player. His talent is undeniable at this po...

Former Chelsea goalkeeper,Rob Green,believes that Thomas Tuchel's style of play has helped Kepa Arrizabalaga rediscover his best form in between the posts. The Spanish international had a good first season at Stamford Bridge when Maurizio Sarri was manager but he struggled badly under Frank Lampard, and it led to the Blues signing a replacement Edouard Mendy. However, Green feels Kepa is now back at the top of his game. The statistics show that Green is right to praise Kepa’s performances this season. The 27-year-old has saved 84.6% of the shots he has faced in the Premier League, while his conceding rate is at 1.5% rating means he is saving more goals than the average goalkeeper. While he may not keep his place when Mendy returns from the African Cup of Nations later this month, he will want to continue his excellent form if he starts for Chelsea against Plymouth this weekend.
