Chelsea

Graham Potter was left with a tricky balancing act after the club brought in eight players during the January transfer window. Chelsea were able to register ...

The move has not worked out for either party. Bettinelli has played one game for Chelsea since joining in 2021. Chelsea, who face Borussia Dortmund in the last 16 had selected only 24 players for the group stage and given themselves more wriggle room by selling Jorginho to Arsenal.

Follow the action live as Chelsea and Fulham clash in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea play host to Fulham at Stamford Bridge in London, England. 1 min: Chelsea 0-0 Fulham Todd Boehly is with former UK chancellor of the exchequer George Osborne in the executive box. Graham Potter looks pensive on the Chelsea bench. They conceded that way when they last met Fulham, who have scored a division-high 11 goals from crosses in the Premier League this season. Fulham will be satsified with the start they've made here. They win a throw-in almost level with their opponents' penalty area on the right, resulting in a cross that Kepa claims comfortably and without challenge inside his penalty area. Mykhailo Mudryk blocks a cross out for a throw-in, and Aleksandar Mitrovic is then called over after appearing to wrestle with Enzo Fernandez inside the Chelsea penalty area. This is about the most exciting sight Chelsea fans have had so far. The Germany international sends a tricky shot comfortably wide, but this is more of what Chelsea want. Fulham aren't dissuaded by Chelsea having their share of attacks during the last few minutes. Kai Havertz is on Tim Ream's shoulder as a ball bounces awkwardly just outside the Fulham penalty area in a central position. Chelsea have now kept a first-half clean sheet in 16 of their 21 games this season, a record only bettered by Newcastle United.

Benfica president Rui Costa has hit out at Enzo Fernandez for his behaviour before leaving the club to join Chelsea for a British record fee.

Madueke went to the right and Sterling, stationed on the left, became the latest to try his luck against the tenacious Tete. Bored out of his mind, Mitrovic then tried to score from the halfway line. With 10 minutes left the young Ivorian striker almost won it, racing through and rounding Leno, only for Tim Ream to clear his shot off the line. It was Fernández who sparked one of Chelsea’s better moment of the opening period, his ball over the top sending Mason Mount through to cross for Kai Havertz, who stretched and fired over from close range. The shot was blocked and Palhinha drilled the rebound over. Palhinha picked up yet another booking after cleaning out Mount and there was also the moment when Fulham’s assistant coach, Luis Boa Morte, exchanged some furious words on the touchline with one of Potter’s lieutenants, Björn Hamberg. Fernández was quickly involved, catching the eye with his switches of play, even showing appetite for the battle when he refused to let Aleksandar Mitrovic intimidate him early on. The window had passed by in a blur, eight new players arriving, culminating in the capture of Fernández on deadline day, but whether any of it is going to work is another thing. Reminders of the past jostled with the future. Rustiness did not appear to be a problem for the man pulling the strings for Chelsea in midfield. Does anyone know what Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang plans to get up to when Chelsea face Borussia Dortmund in the last 16 of the Champions League? Being generous, this is merely the start of a rebuild.

The crowd rallied, and Chelsea started to take control. Hakim Ziyech, fresh from his failed move to Paris Saint-Germain on transfer deadline day, clipped a searching ball in behind Fulham for Kai Havertz to run onto, but the makeshift No. Marco Silva’s well-drilled team made the host look toothless at times at the end of a week in which it spent 106.5 million pounds to land World Cup winner Fernandez.

Hakim Ziyech plays a delightful ball over the top to Kai Havertz who lifts it over Leno but his effort rattles the post and goes back into play! The visitors defended superbly - particularly in the second half as they frustrated a Chelsea side eager to kick start a good run of form. The 20-year-old was able to take it around goalkeeper Bernd Leno before striking towards goal but Tim Ream was on hand with a goal-saving clearance. It was the closest the Argentine came to getting his first goal for the club. It was the first warning shot from Marco Silva's side who looked to pose a threat on the counter. Fernandez came close to a dream debut goal after 70 minutes as his whipped effort from distance flew just past the far post.

"What we need to do now is gel the team," Potter added. When asked if he was confident the team could still qualify for next season's Champions League, Potter said: "I'm confident with the potential we have.
