The £12 million signing will have been able to look at his competition up close and witness Kepa Arrizabalaga pulling off some crucial saves [throughout the evening as his good form continued](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/chelsea-player-ratings-broja-chukwuemeka-25306324). The former Arsenal striker braced himself for the impact rather than it being a surprise as Hakim Ziyech watched on and While Chelsea's starting XI are sent through their warm-up that builds in intensity and drills, it's safe to say substitutes have a more relaxed time becoming acquainted with the ball. Gabriel Slonina, who had returned on loan to Chicago Fire after completing his move, posted a picture of the game from the stands of Gtech Stadium along with the caption 'The Prem' and a blue heart. Referee Jarred Gillett had to head over to encourage the midfielder off the pitch, while Gallagher appeared confused how he had caused such chagrin. There was initially no sign of him being substituted as he gingerly made his way towards the dugout. The Blues moved on from the game with a single point leaving them in fourth place and a point ahead of Manchester United, who they face at Stamford Bridge this weekend. Chelsea began to find more control but as the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic entered the fray, none could trouble the scoreline.

Chukwuemeka potential excites Chelsea following £20m transfer ... (Goal.com)

Carney Chukwuemeka boasts “exciting” potential, says Graham Potter, with Chelsea happy to be giving a 19-year-old prospect Premier League minutes.

That was just the thinking. They affected the game. Living up to that hefty price tag will not be easy, having taken in just 15 senior appearances for Villa, but the talented teenage midfielder is seeing game time for Chelsea and working under a manager that sees him becoming a superstar of the future.

Chelsea vs Manchester United: How to watch live, stream link, team ... (NBC Sports)

Chelsea host Manchester United in a huge clash between two teams eager to finish in the top four, at the very least, this season.

It’s pretty clear Cristiano Ronaldo won’t be appearing for United after his actions in midweek, while Harry Maguire and Anthony Martial are working their way back to fitness. Wesley Fofana, Reece James and N’Golo Kante remain long-term injury absentees for Chelsea, while Conor Gallagher came off in the first half of their midweek draw at Brentford due to illness. On the pitch Erik ten Hag’s side were excellent in their home win against Spurs and they have now won six of their 10 games this season and there is a real togetherness about this squad. Kepa Arrizabalaga has kept five clean sheets in a row in all competitions and made some superb saves against Villa and Brentford as he’s keeping Edouard Mendy out of the team. As for United, Bruno Fernandes is getting back to his very best, while Casemiro has added extra steel in midfield and Antony is delivering real quality each and every game. Potter has had to deal with injuries to Fofana, Kante, Gallagher and James but Chelsea’s squad is deep and they look like they will easily finish in the top four and challenge to win trophies.

Ronaldo walkout shades Man U win and upcoming Chelsea clash (The Seattle Times)

Cristiano Ronaldo is unlikely to start for Manchester United against Chelsea on Saturday and he is still dominating the buildup.

He was reluctant to let the player leave in the summer – fearing his squad would be left short of a prolific goal-scorer. Ten Hag’s choice of words was notable. It was a magnificent performance from all the 11 players.” The outcome is unsatisfactory for all concerned – and his walk off on Wednesday is unhelpful for Ten Hag at a time when he is still establishing himself at United. I want to keep the focus on this team. We needed good pressing players.

Tuttosport: Milan want to sign two forwards from Chelsea in next two ... (SempreMilan)

AC Milan could do yet more transfer business with Chelsea as they are eyeing two forwards in view of future windows, a report claims.

Milan tried to sign Ziyech during the summer transfer window and they remain keen on the Moroccan winger, so much so that they could try a new attempt in January since the player is not featuring heavily in Graham Potter’s plans at the moment. That is why Milan are targeting Armando Broja, a 21-year-old Albanian striker who was also linked to Milan in the past, and at the moment he is not finding much playing time with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kai Havertz ahead of him. AC Milan could do yet more transfer business with Chelsea as they are eyeing two forwards in view of future windows, a report claims.

Ronaldo didn't appear happy as an unused sub in Manchester United's win over Tottenham.

While his wages were an issue with moving during the summer window, there's a chance that during the winter window Ronaldo and Manchester United can part ways before the rift grows. He also won't be training with the senior squad, according to reports. Manchester United defeated Tottenham 2-0 Wednesday to keep their push for a top-four place going, but instead of being asked just about the performance of players on the pitch, manager Erik ten Hag had to field questions about striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

That would appear to signal that Potter has trust in the UEFA European under-19 championship winner, though he has a very different profile to Ziyech. That appears to put Zakaria into sixth in the pecking order in the middle of the pitch, not including the injured N'Golo Kante. It should perhaps not be a surprise that Kovacic is above Zakaria in Chelsea's pecking order, Potter even acknowledged a group of players that the deadline day signing must battle past ahead of the game. "Well, we just spoke about Mason Mount, and there’s Conor Gallagher and Ruben and Jorgi in that area of the pitch. Against Brentford the Blues head coach once again only started two of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic, even though the former needed to be used at wing-back.
