Chelsea

It was the USMNT star's sixth Premier League goal of the season and first since April 24.

The last pass from Mason Mount, who scored the opening goal of the match, was the cherry on top as he drew two defenders and back-heeled into Pulisic’s path. Onwards and upwards my boy … big six months ahead,” Mark Pulisic tweeted after a loss to Everton, before later deleting it. Pulisic’s goal was both a product of an early red card to Leeds winger Daniel James and Chelsea’s impressive buildup play.

Leeds United edged closer to Premier League relegation after goals from Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku earned Chelsea a comfortable 3-0 ...

"It was necessary to change things after the run we had been on, we needed to step up. "We were very strong when it was 11 against 11, and obviously you have an advantage after their sending off. In a moment of carelessness, James scythed Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic needlessly down on the halfway line and was handed his marching orders, meaning he will miss the rest of the season.

Chelsea moved to the brink of qualifying for next season's Champions League as they pushed Leeds closer to relegation from the Premier League with a 3-0 ...

Cutting through the Leeds midfield with a rapier thrust, Tuchel's men were at their flowing best in a move that climaxed with Pulisic taking Mount's flick and slotting home from the edge of the area. Mount gave Chelsea the perfect start in the fourth minute as he ran onto Reece James' pass and curled a brilliant strike into the top corner from the edge of the area. Burnley have three games left compared to only two for Leeds, who host Brighton and travel to Brentford in the matches that will decide if their two-season stay in the top flight is destined to end with a return to the Championship.

Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel fears Mateo Kovacic will miss Saturday's FA Cup Final against Liverpool at Wembley after suffering an ankle injury.

"If you look at the quality today also with Jorgi [ Jorginho] and him in central midfield when we played 11 against 11, it was a very strong start. "It was a swollen ankle and he is in a lot of pain. It is absolutely bad news for us on a perfect evening."

Leeds United are hurtling towards relegation after a second thoughtless sending off in as many games hands their opponents an easy victory, writes Ross ...

It’s there to be won. Jesse Marsch must be scratching his head. He certainly endangered an opponent and that’s why the red card has come out.” It’s indefensible.” “It’s a terrible looking challenge. Yet Chelsea needed just four minutes to find the net.

Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku were on target as Chelsea won 3-0 at Elland Road to increase the relegation pressure on Leeds, ...

It was a challenge which ultimately forced Kovacic from the field several minutes later and by half-time, Leeds would have been grateful to only be one behind. They were already ahead before that thanks to Mason Mount’s strike after just four minutes, and they had the possession and chances to increase that lead further. What followed after the break felt like more of a procession for Chelsea, though. They were then put to the sword after half-time as goals from Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku inched Chelsea ever closer to a top four finish. They were among four changes made by Marsch but just as against Arsenal on Sunday, within five minutes here, Leeds had fallen behind. This was another defeat for Leeds, their third in succession, and the second in a matter of days in which a first-half red card has made an already difficult task even more arduous.

A third successive league loss for Leeds means they stay in the bottom three on 34 points from 36 matches, level with 17th-placed Burnley, who have a game in hand, making Sunday’s clash with Brighton & Hove Albion pivotal for Jesse Marsch’s side. There only looked like being one winner from that moment on, with Chelsea putting the game to bed in the 54th minute as American forward Pulisic slotted home from the edge of the area, before Lukaku hammered in a late third to seal victory. The hosts, however, could not have got off to a worse start as Mount fired Chelsea in front inside four minutes, before a reckless challenge from Dan James saw him sent off 20 minutes later, leaving Leeds with a mountain to climb.

LEEDS, England (AP) — Hampered by another first-half red card, Leeds lost 3-0 at home to Chelsea on Wednesday to remain rooted in the Premier League'

Meanwhile, Kovacic tried but was unable to play on after being hurt by James’ foul and came off six minutes later after the red card. Leeds is in third-to-last place, behind Burnley on goal difference having played one game more. Leeds has two games remaining — against Brighton and Brentford — in its bid to avoid a return to the Championship.

In short, not great. Heading into the Leeds game, Tuchel's men had only one win in five Premier League games following their FA Cup semi-final win against ...

Arsenal travel to Newcastle on May 16 before entertaining Everton on the final day. Anything over than a victory for Spurs will mean Chelsea are certain of their top-four spot. In short, not great. In reality, they only need one. Mount turned provider in the 54th minute, putting a lovely flick into the path of Pulisic for the USMNT star to net his sixth Premier League goal of the season. There was a chaotic 4-2 London derby loss at home to Arsenal and a 1-0 reverse at the hands of an Everton side battling against relegation.

Chelsea are set to unveil a £20 million-a-year shirt deal with cryptocurrency group WhaleFin, it has been revealed.

This should be done by the end of the month, with the Government set to approve the American and his consortium. It is unclear as to who the new sponsor could be, but this is likely to be sorted when Todd Boehly is officially named Chelsea owner and will have full control of the club. But now, as Chelsea are set to be taken over by Todd Boehly, Mark Kleinman reports that the Blues are set to unveil a new sleeve sponsorship.

We'll send you a myFT Daily Digest email rounding up the latest Football news every morning. Chelsea Football Club has struck a £20mn shirt-sleeve sponsorship ...

WhaleFin, owned by Singapore-based Amber Group, will "replace Hyundai, who suspended their sponsorship deal after Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK ...

Betting on sports is as old as the events themselves and has become an integral part of fan engagement. With only one year remaining on the main shirt deal with British telecom Three, which also suspended its sponsorship, Chelsea has "already started the process of looking at potential alternative sponsors." WhaleFin, owned by Singapore-based Amber Group, will "replace Hyundai, who suspended their sponsorship deal after Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK Government." The deal, which was agreed "at the start of the year ahead of sanctions being imposed on Abramovich, is a considerable increase on the Hyundai deal that was worth £50M over four years."

Todd Boehly's takeover is in the process of being completed, which raises questions about the makeup of the club and how it'll be constructed going forward.

Slowly, the uncertainty around the club is lifting, but it could be a couple of years yet before the post-Abramovich future really begins to take shape. The form of Loftus-Cheek and the return of Conor Gallagher from a highly impressive loan to Crystal Palace can ease some of the pressure, but decisions will need to be made there—and also about Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech, none of whom has been entirely convincing this season. Boehly’s Los Angeles Dodgers have the highest payroll in baseball, and there appears to be a conscious policy there of adding superstars to an already loaded and accomplished team. Given that Chelsea remains, at least for a couple of weeks, the European champion, and that it seemed up until four months ago that it could mount a title challenge, it’s remarkable how threadbare the squad looks now. Premier League approval should be a formality, but some bureaucratic difficulties could remain with the government, which effectively forced the sale by sanctioning Roman Abramovich following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Payment has to be made in such a way that the Russian oligarch is not seen to have benefited. That suggests an expectation of a change in competition format or the structure of broadcasting rights that will radically increase the revenues of big clubs.

Exclusive: WhaleFin's entry into Premier League football sponsorship, through a deal with Chelsea, will, I'm told, be worth around £20m annually to the club.

No shortage of money in crypto these days obviously, and this is a far more palatable way to get involved than some NFT nonsense. Exclusive: WhaleFin's entry into Premier League football sponsorship, through a deal with Chelsea, will, I'm told, be worth around £20m annually to the club.

Thomas Tuchel has sent a message to Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah after his impressive performance in their victory over Leeds United.

Either way, the owners of the franchises are going to be the recipients of that increased value.” Between 2022 and 2025, the league’s international broadcasting rights will total 5.05 billion pounds, equal to about $6.2 billion, while UK broadcast rights will be worth 5 billion pounds, The Athletic reported earlier this year. The total would include funding for Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadium, its women’s team and its academy to develop youth players. The Greenwich-based holding company has invested in more than 70 businesses, across sectors, including sports and gaming, media, financial services, real estate and technology. Current Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, who bought the club in 2003 for an estimated $230 million, cannot benefit from the sale. Boehly, who is also a part-owner of Major League Baseball’s Los Angeles Dodgers, is leading the new ownership group with Dodgers principal owner Mark Walter, Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss and private equity firm Clearlake Capital.

"He played against Liverpool – I think both matches from the beginning – and was very strong. "I did not see the challenge live. He is a key figure for us in midfield.

Men's and women's teams have defied ownership turbulence to reach Wembley finals and will soon bid farewell to key players.

Arsenal did not drop a point from the start of March to the end of the season. For months they have known any slip could give Arsenal the advantage, which will have focused minds when the issues surrounding the club could have been a distraction. They had to give everything in the Women’s Super League right up to the final moment to ensure they won a third successive title. The prospective new owners will want to spend money on players, and the club would be a far more attractive option for potential targets with another trophy in the cabinet. They lost in the Carabao Cup final to Saturday’s opponents, Liverpool, and revenge for that would be sweet. Chelsea have endured a turbulent final few months of the Roman Abramovich era and will be aiming to start their new one with a bang, and an FA Cup double.

Chelsea are reportedly seeking a replacement for shirt sponsor Three UK as Todd Boehly's consortium prepare to take over from Roman Abramovich.

But messages for peace can never be wrong." "This is what everybody can be sure of and this is what we demand of ourselves. "Maybe the worry is to find enough shirts to play in with the sanctions, but as long as we have enough shirts as the bus is full of fuel we will arrive and be competitive.

Liverpool are still chasing four trophies, while Chelsea's season hangs in the balance. These two met in the Carabao Cup final, with Liverpool winning on ...

They're able to generate lots of high-quality shots at the edge of the six-yard box, but they haven't been able to add too many tap-ins or medium-quality shots from elsewhere in the penalty area. When the game is moving faster, Henderson and James have been particularly important, ranking in the 99th and 100th percentiles, respectively, for the value added from their passing when adjusted for the speed of movement of everyone else on the field. For the second year in a row, Werner has paired fantastic underlying numbers with paltry goal totals, but even if he's not scoring -- and he's mostly not -- his speed seems to open up all kinds of space for his teammates. To put that in context: the odds are essentially the same for Liverpool's Champions League final against Real Madrid: 61% per the bookies, 65%t per SPI. And they're also able to determine what players play valuable passes in transitional moments, or when everyone around the ball is moving quickly rather than standing still. Liverpool, meanwhile, play longer passes when compared to most of the other big clubs in the league, but shorter compared to the average team. Chelsea, on the other hand, have held their opponents to a 78% pass completion rate (fourth-best in the league) and forced 274 high turnovers, which is tied for eighth-best. Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and another Chelsea center-back, Thiago Silva, both rank in the 98th percentile. The former is measured in meters, while the latter is measured in passes per second of possession, or "velocity." Their defense put up an all-time great run of form in the second half of the previous campaign. On Saturday, Liverpool will likely do what they always do: a combo of measured buildup play with direct attacking when the space is there, followed by a fierce press when they lose it. At the same time, though, not being able to complete your passes is what happens when you play against Liverpool.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has provided an injury update for defender Ben Chilwell, who has been a long-term absentee since injuring his ACL in November.

We are so happy he is back." It is too important that the knee gets it’s time to heal. When asked about the defender, Tuchel revealed: "He has trained with the Under-16s and Under-18s to have football sessions.

The club was purchased by a U.S. consortium, but Abramovich will not personally benefit from the sale.

Under Abramovich, the club won 18 trophies and became a viable competitor in the English league. Abramovich will not be personally receiving any money from the record sale. About $1.85 billion that Abramovich lent to the club over the years will go to charity, to be determined at a later date.

N'Golo Kante is facing a race against time to be fit in time for Chelsea's FA Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley on Saturday evening.

If you’re going for the top and you want to be up there you can’t have that dip. So we need to be professional." He said: "If you look at the beginning of the season we were up there pushing and it came to around December, January time and we had a dip.

Chelsea's Christian Pulisic has opened up on the Blues' game plan against Leeds United after Jesse Marsch's side were reduced to ten men.

He continued: "I thought we did a really good job working it forward. We kept a lot of pressure on them to win the ball back, that really deflates a team. We did a good job matching that.

Chelsea go into the FA Cup final against Liverpool in good spirits after defeating Leeds, but with concerns about Kovacic's fitness.

I think now having virtually secured a top-four finish with a week of the league season to go will remove some of the tension. Not only is he the likeliest person to turn Liverpool over in the most valuable areas of the pitch, but he can also carry the ball forward with speed. OK, last pick is for the left of the attack. My vote goes to Christian Pulisic. He isn’t consistent, but he reminds me of Pedro with his knack of getting in the area to score goals. Yes, he has suffered a dip, but he will be well rested after being on the bench for the last two matches. But for a questionable offside decision, he would have won the trophy for Chelsea. Plus, Kai Havertz has been off the pace and rather disappointing since the March international break. I can imagine a lot of readers won’t like this, but my choice is Romelu Lukaku. He has played well in the last two games, scoring three goals, and looks like he’s rediscovered something. Silva is the reason for choosing this system, so he has to play along with Rudiger. Let’s hope Alonso plays like he did away to Real Madrid a few weeks ago — one of his best appearances in a Chelsea shirt. Johnson: Like you, I think Chelsea have to play with three at the back. It has to be Reece James on the right and, as much as Chelsea fans are split on him, Marcos Alonso on the left. They have played well against Liverpool with it, most notably in the Carabao Cup final in February, which they perhaps should have won.
