Chelsea 11/2 to win Premier League Chelsea have been trying to finalise a deal for Drinkwater for the past month as they hope to add another English player to their squad after two Premier League games of fielding none in their starting line-up. Leicester’s original asking price for the 27-year-old was £40m but Chelsea are expecting to bring that down a little with the transfer window closing at 23:00 BST....

Despite creating several chances against Krasnodar in the final game of Group E in the Champions League on Tuesday, Chelsea could only manage a 1-1 draw.

New Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has collected four points from his first two games. But one could argue that the Spurs game could be a serious test of his impact and tactical nous.

The Blues had posted profits in the previous two years, but a club statement reported the loss was due to player signings, a lack of Champions League football and the dismissal of Antonio Conte and his coaching staff in July 2018. Conte led Chelsea to a fifth-placed finish in 2017-18, meaning they missed out on Europe’s elite club competition in the following campaign. However, with the arrival of Maurizio Sarri, along with the signings of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic, Chelsea then finished third and won the Europa League....

Liverpool have lost three home matches within a week to exit the two domestic cup competitions and leave them fourth in the league table, 10 points behind Chelsea. “I think that after this game, and there are 15 games, a lot of points, for sure it could be another hit mentally for them,” Conte told reporters on Monday. “But I repeat there are 15 games after this before the season finishes....

I was diagnosed in 2014, and at first, my asthma was mild and manageable. But by 2015, my asthma became severe. It had worsened to the point that I was being hospitalized regularly. It really spiraled out of control within a two-year span, which was very overwhelming. I work as a respiratory therapist, so I knew what was happening to me, but I couldn’t stop it. After my first hospitalization, I hoped that regular treatment options would work....

Those two decades are often referred to as “the golden era of Indian football”. During that period, India won a couple of golds in Asian Games (1951 and 1962). But after 1974, there was a rapid decline in Indian football. There were some sparks of revival in 2002 during the World Cup qualifiers. India beat UAE (1-0) and drew with Yemen (1-1), but unfortunately they could not make it to the next round as they finished a point short....

Early on, the Boston-born Lemonheads were a noisy postpunk guitar band, distinguished mainly by surreal and delicious covers like Suzanne Vega’s “Luka” and Michael Nesmith’s “Different Drum.” The band’s last album, the first-rate “It’s a Shame About Ray,” sold nearly a half-million copies, turning Dando into a magazine cover boy and landing him on People’s “50 Most Beautiful” list. Success meant the singer had to put up or shut up: to establish his credibility or be written off as a purveyor of bubblegrunge....

The Foxes had a great start to the game but couldn’t capitalise on their chances. They had as many as 12 shots in the first half but only one of them was on target. A header by N’didi forced Courtois to be a stunning save but apart from that, none of them seemed to bother the Belgian shot-stopper. Kasper Schmeichel meanwhile had to pull off a couple of saves to deny Chelsea but overall, it was an easy day between the posts for him too....

The Blues will follow that trip up with their first home game of the campaign a week later when they host London rivals Tottenham in a mouth-watering early season encounter. In a strange coincidence, Thomas Tuchel’s side will play all of their “big six” opponents at home first, before travelling to each of their potential title rivals in the second half of the campaign. Their next clash with a “big six” side comes in the form of Liverpool, who they will be hosting on September 17, before a visit from Manchester United on October 22....

The champions’ title defence has not really gathered pace this season with Manchester City 18 points ahead of the fourth-placed Blues and looking certainties to take the trophy to the Etihad Stadium.

Victories for Liverpool and Manchester City on Sunday meant Arsenal ended the Premier League season in fifth, missing out on Europe’s elite club competition for the first time since the 1997-98 season. Conte, meanwhile, guided Chelsea to the title in his first season in charge and has an opportunity to clinch the double against Arsene Wenger’s men at Wembley on Saturday. But the Italian has warned Arsenal will be motivated to salvage something from their season....

The Stamford Bridge club remain favourites to claim a second Premier League title in three seasons, but have not raced away from the competition as they did in 2014-15. Spurs’ 2-0 win over London rivals Arsenal on Sunday ensured the gap at the summit remained at four points with four games remaining and Mauricio Pochettino’s side play their next match at West Ham on Friday – three days before Chelsea host relegation-threatened Middlesbrough next Monday....

The 48-year-old Italian had been seen as vulnerable despite winning the FA Cup last term having fallen out with both the board and senior players. The former Italy national coach returned to take training this week but the writing was on the wall and the drawn out process was reportedly due to how much compensation the club should pay Napoli for his likely successor Maurizio Sarri. “Chelsea Football Club and Antonio Conte have parted company,” the club said in a terse statement....
