Hakim Ziyech’s first-half opener was canceled out by a 73rd-minute strike from Gerard Moreno. Chelsea started the game in dominant fashion, keeping most of the possession in the first quarter of the game to themselves. The early dominance soon paid off as the Blues took the lead as Ziyech converted a low cross into the six yard box from Kai Havertz in the 27th minute. However, Villarreal started to push after the early setback, coming close via Alberto Moreno who rattled the post with a fine volley in the first half....

Squads Crystal Palace: Hennessey, Ward, Dann, Delaney, Souare, Lee, Jedinak (C), McArthur, Puncheon, Zaha, Campbell. Chelsea: Courtois, Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry (C), Azpilicueta, Mikel, Fabregas, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Costa First Half: Chelsea take the lead through Oscar As with most games this weekend, this London derby also saw incessant rain and Chelsea didn’t get off to the best of starts, conceding a corner within 30 seconds. Cesar Azpilicueta also suffered a nasty blow to the face when he was on the floor and Campbell kicked him in the face on the follow-through....

Following widespread speculation, the Brazil international has finalised a move after the Premier League leaders accepted an offer reportedly worth €60million. The 25-year-old will join the CSL outfit at the beginning of the January transfer window. Oscar moved to Stamford Bridge in 2012 from Internacional and won the Europa League, the EFL Cup and the Premier League in his first three seasons with the club. He fell down the pecking order following the arrival of Antonio Conte as manager, however, and has only started one match since September....

Chelsea are unbeaten under Thomas Tuchel and look like a force to be reckoned with once again. The German tactician has made a massive impression since replacing Frank Lampard at the helm and will look to scalp another feather in his cap with a victory against Manchester United, having already beaten Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid in his short stint at Stamford Bridge so far. Chelsea fans across India have been looking forward to the game all week, with a handful of them recalling their favorite games against Manchester United over the years....

Now this is an interesting situation at the moment because despite what is being said, Ashley Cole has been dropped to the bench and is playing second fiddle to Cesar Azpilicueta. It has to be said, Azpilicueta has been outstanding. It’s my view that a full back should be quick and pacey in order to cover round and track back. Seeing Ivanovic caught out for pace against Basel isn’t the first time it’s happened to our Serbian defender....

Here are five players who could replace the Spaniard at Stamford Bridge: Karim Benzema (Real Madrid and France) Four years younger than 29-year-old Torres, Benzema has been watched by the international media ever since he broke through the ranks at Olympique Lyonnais in 2007.

The wing-back suffered a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace on October 14 and has been out of action for three weeks. Conte stressed on the severity of the 26-year-old’s injury and called for more time to aid the Nigerian recovery.

In case you didn’t know… Eden Hazard joined Chelsea from Lille in 2012 and has been a consistent performer for the club since then. He played 232 league games for the Blues thus far, scoring 81 goals. The Belgium international registered 12 goals and 10 assists in 24 league games this season and is among the favourites to win the PFA Player of the Season award. However, he was linked with a move away from the club during the last few months and Real Madrid are among the favourites to sign him....

The difference in the two sides, in such a short period of time, is quite incredible. Chelsea, who won the title at a canter in Conte’s first season, were quite frankly pathetic here. City were not quite at their majestic best, but they did not have to be. The Londoners, who had all the answers last season, offered nothing but a meek defensive display. In the parlance of their former manager, they parked the bus, and in fairness they did limit City’s chances....

Arsenal’s ambitions were dealt a blow when they had to settle for a 3-3 draw at Bournemouth on Tuesday, but Chelsea’s 2-0 setback at White Hart Lane 24 hours later - their first defeat after 13 consecutive wins - keeps Wenger’s men within eight points of the leaders. Who will win the Premier League? “It looks like Chelsea are still quite comfortable but when you are interrupted in a series of wins, it always raises hope for others....

Since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, governments around the world have hit back with economic sanctions against the country, but also against individuals with close ties to Putin and his government. Abramovich was one of seven Russian oligarchs targeted by the UK government on March 10 with “a full asset freeze and travel ban” as someone “whose business empires, wealth and connections are closely associated with the Kremlin,” according to the official announcement....

Charlotte’s announcement WWE RAW emanated tonight from the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut and kicked off with a wild brawl between Seth Rollins & AOP and Kevin Owens & Samoa Joe. During the middle of the show, Charlotte Flair trotted down the ramp and entered the ring. She took a mic and it was apparent that she was going to cut a promo. Charlotte then proceeded to say that she was officially entering her name into the 2020 Women’s Royal Rumble match....

Charlotte Flair also tweeted that she will make her return when she’s ready. Now, Charlotte has posted an update in her official Instagram handle, in one of her stories. As can be seen in the picture below, Flair seems to be doing well now.

The top spot went to Matt Kenseth, who had a final-round lap of 199.299 while Stewart slipped to sixth after winning the second round at 200.111 mph on the high-banked 1 1/2-mile track. “To be able to say we’re the first guy on a mile a half to run 200, that’s pretty cool I think,” said Stewart, who is coming off his first top five finish since March after taking fourth last weekend at Martinsville....

Stephanie Mateczun, whose company manages the Buffalo Jills cheerleading squad, said Thursday she has suspended operations through at least the end of the season.

China is getting serious about cheer. And it has plenty of company. When the Worlds first opened the competition to foreign teams two years ago, three showed up: two from Colombia and one from New Zealand. This year, 38 foreign teams came from 15 countries. By Olson’s estimate, there are now more than 100,000 cheerleaders abroad (compared with 1.5 million in America). The global interest has mushroomed so much that last year the USASF created an International All Star Federation with connections to groups in 52 countries....
