Catch up on all the latest top Blues news and transfer gossip today.
HARD SCEL
CHELSEA are looking at a January swoop for Newcastle defender Jamal Lascelles.
The Toon centre-back is also a target for Spurs with Maurizio Sarri and Mauricio Pochettino both looking to shore up their defences.
PARTY POOPER
FRANK LAMPARD says he will not celebrate if his Derby side beat Chelsea tonight due to the Stamford Bridge legend's love for the club.
Lamps also refused to celebrate when he netted against the Blues for Man City.
EDEN PROJECT
EDEN HAZARD is set for a return to action against Crystal Palace this weekend.
The Belgian missed Chelsea's wins over BATE and Burnley and will sit out their match against Frank Lampard's Derby, but should be back for the next Premier League game.
'ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING'
EDEN HAZARD is the best player in the world on current form, according to his former team-mate Frank Lampard.
Hazard, 27, is in red-hot form under new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri and Lampard reckons he is better than Lionel Messi right now.
HAZARD WARNING
HAZARD'S rumoured transfer to Real Madrid could be back on after Los Blancos decided to overlook Antonio Conte due to player power and contract demands.
Conte had a turbulent relationship with Hazard at Stamford Bridge but Real could now go back in for the Belgian once a new manager is announced.
FEELING BLUE
REAL MADRID'S failure to sign Antonio Conte will cost his former club Chelsea more than £7million, according to reports.
And it is believed the La Liga giants pulled the plug on a deal for the Italian because of concerns over his "combustible character".
TOTAL ECLIPSE OF ROM'S HEART
ROMAN ABRAMOVICH as yet to visit Stamford Bridge this season, even though his Chelsea team are finally playing the kind of attractive football he has been craving.
In fact, the Russian oligarch has not set foot in Britain since the British government failed to renew his visa in May.
BARC-ING MAD
CHELSEA are on red alert after Barcelona reportedly told Ousmane Dembele to find a new club in January.
Dembele, 21, is considered one of football's brightest young talents and would no doubt be a welcome addition for all three Premier League sides.
A SARRI SIGHT
CHELSEA boss Maurizio Sarri is “disappointed” for misfiring Oliver Giroud after another blank against Burnley.
Giroud came off the bench for the last 16 minutes of the win at Turf Moor, and with the game at 3-0, the Frenchman was hoping to end his club goal drought.
BLUES BOUNTY
ROSS BARKLEY and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have "saved" Chelsea £100million with their recent good form.
That's the opinion of BBC pundit Garth Crooks, who has been surprised by the England pair's recent good form.
