August 21st 2024.
Chelsea's recent performances have been far from ideal, but there is one player who shines above the rest - Cole Palmer. The team's start to the new season has been nothing short of chaotic, with a disappointing 2-0 loss to Manchester City and a tough Europa Conference League play-off match against Servette from Switzerland on Thursday, followed by a tricky away game against Wolves on Sunday.
But it's not just their on-field struggles that have been making headlines. Off-field incidents have also been causing issues for the Blues, most notably Raheem Sterling's frustration at being left out of the squad to face his former team, Manchester City. He has also been left out of the squad for the upcoming match against Servette, along with a few other players such as Ben Chilwell and summer signing Tosin Adarabioyo. It seems likely that Sterling will be leaving the club before the transfer window closes, with Juventus reportedly showing interest in his availability.
In the midst of all this chaos, Chelsea have been desperately trying to trim down their bloated squad. Conor Gallagher has already been sold to Atletico Madrid, and it is rumored that 8-10 more players could be leaving before the transfer deadline. The club is also working on bringing in Napoli's Victor Osimhen to strengthen their attack, with Paris Saint-Germain backing out of the race for the Nigerian striker.
Despite all the distractions and setbacks, Chelsea are determined to secure a win against Servette to prove their strength and unity as a team. They are expected to have an easy victory against their Swiss opponents, who narrowly lost to Braga in the Europa League play-offs before dropping down to the Europa Conference League.
One player to watch in this match is Kieran Dewsbury-Hall, who was signed from Leicester City by former manager Enzo Maresca. He made an appearance off the bench in their last match against Manchester City and could potentially start against Servette. Bet365 is offering odds of 17/2 for him to score first and 12/5 for him to score at any time.
In other news, Queen of the Pride is favored to win the Yorkshire Oaks at the Ebor Festival, with odds of 11/4 from Betway, Betfair, and Paddy Power. Meanwhile, Bopedro has a chance to place in the Clipper Handicap at 16/1 with bet365. As for the upcoming Nunthorpe race, Big Evs is the favorite with odds of 4/1 from BetUK and BetMGM, while Ziggy is a strong contender for the Ebor Handicap with odds of 16/1 from Ladbrokes, Coral, William Hill, and other bookmakers.
On a different note, Chelsea's Football League acca this Saturday includes Burnley, Birmingham, Bradford, and Port Vale. Despite some recent struggles, the team remains determined and focused on achieving success on and off the field.
