The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Wednesday 17th September 2025!
Morning all!
And what a fine morning it is because Chelsea are finally playing back in the Champions League tonight facing one of our nemesis clubs, Bayern Munich! I love it! I’m excited for it! And Chelsea have to absolutely be up for it, every single one of them.
I’ve previewed the game a bit here by going back over our previous meetings with Bayern, some historic, some good, some very bad. In this as well, I’ve also fully explained the new format for the competition so you are all clear what is going on with it. Some great memories in this build up article.
And then we have Opta’s Supercomputer’s prediction for Chelsea in the UCL alongside Reece James preview comments ahead of the game here. James’ comments in this should be enough for us all to get super up for this and feeling buzzing ahead of tonight!
And then we have Enzo Maresca’s pre-match words, along with a chance for you all to pick your best starting Xl for the game tonight as well as what I would go for in yesterday’s live blog here. This also covers all the rest of the general Chelsea news as well as more build up to tonight!
And amongst all the UCL build up which is the absolute focus right now, I had a sourced article on new centre back targets that dropped into your emails yesterday. You can recap on some new names that the club are looking at here.
And as if that excitement wasn’t enough for you all, we have the second instalment of Rob Pratley’s weekly edition of Talking Tactics here, which is a superb addition to our content on this site, bringing Women’s content into the community on a regular basis. I am so pleased to have this in the community now, and I’m sure you will agree, the detail in these articles from Rob are incredible.
Right, see you all on the next live blog on the home page from 8.30am where I will be putting out more build up as we head towards tonight!
COME ON CHELSEA!!!!
Peace, Si.
