Chelsea came back to Premier League action after the international break with a 4-0 hammering of West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns. Perhaps scarred by losing passively at lowly Crystal Palace after the last set of international fixtures, the attitude from the whole team was excellent from start to finish.

West Brom’s typically rugged approach saw the team get drawn into some unnecessary yellow cards…

Jose Mourinho managed to get Nemanja Matic to Manchester United from former club Chelsea, and reports now have it that he will go back again in a bid to bring Willian to Old Trafford. The Brazilian has fallen down the pecking order since Antonio Conte’s arrival at Stamford Bridge, stuck behind Pedro when the Italian deploys a 3-4-3 and even less likely to play in the 3-5-2. And the Blues are thought to be plotting a move for Paris Saint-Germain star Lucas Moura, which could force Willian out. Selecao boss Tite is yet to completely decide on Philippe Coutinho as…
