Covering: Big sourced article on summer plans (Rice, Toney, Lavia, Caicedo and more), Formations and setups, Keeping players happy, Fulham preview, Plus all the latest news and transfer rumours!

Morning all!

It’s a Chelsea matchday! And I’m a little more buzzing for this one than I have been in recent times, I must admit!

The Blues welcome neighbours Fulham to Stamford Bridge this evening in the 8pm kick off live on Sky Sports. You can check out my full, and more optimistic, preview of the game here.

If you missed it yesterday, I put out a big sourced article on our plans for the summer as the focus for that begins. There’s loads in here on outgoings, and which positions and players we are targeting as a priority.

With the club signing players all over the park and the squad becoming big and super competitive now and in the summer for next season, there are some genuine concerns to address. First of all, you can check my formations and setups article out here that touches on that and looks at the setups we can use this season and next season. There’s a lot to be excited about in this as well.

But as Bruno Brown also touched upon in his contribution article for us here, there is a question of how we are going to keep all the players happy and what effect that might have.

And to sweep up on anything else that happened yesterday in the world of Chelsea and transfer rumours, head to the live blog here.

We recorded our latest Podcast yesterday, just myself and Macca. We reflected the transfer window, looked ahead to summer, and previewed tonight’s BIG game! If you missed that one, it’s available here.

We also had a bonus article out yesterday from Rob Pratley that is guaranteed to have you in stitches! In fact, it’s easily his best work yet. I’ll say no more, but check it out here!

One to watch out for today, Chelsea legend Frank Leboeuf is penning his next exclusive column for so that will be live on the page at some point. I’ll send it to your emails though so you don’t miss it. He’ll be speaking on many of the things above, including our transfer business and looking ahead to Fulham tonight.

Have a cracking weekend and I’ll be back on Sunday as per!

Peace, Si.
