  Chelsea have completed a loan deal for Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho. The deal is understood to include an obligation to buy if certain thresholds are met. Sancho has scored 12 goals and contributed six assists in 83 games for United since signing from Dortmund for £73m three years ago. Sancho - who has 23 caps for England - fell out of favour at United last season after a public disagreement with Ten Hag. The forward was welcomed back into Ten Hag's squad this summer but his only action so far this season was a brief appearance from the bench in the Community Shield. Why Chelsea have signed Jadon Sancho: During his time in the Manchester City youth setup,  he established himself as one of the most exciting young wingers in the world  before taking his talents to Borussia Dortmund. Sancho was still widely regarded as a winger when he joined the Red Devils in July 2021, but now he favours the number 10 role. "He [Sancho] said very confidently that his favourite ...

 Servette vs Chelsea  Leg 2 of 2 Chelsea will be confident of securing their place in the Europa Conference League proper as they travel to face Servette in the second leg of their play-off tie tonight. The Blues picked up a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge and now look to complete the job with minimal fuss. Enzo Maresca’s side come into this match on a high, having swept aside Wolves in a 6-2 win over the weekend for their first victory of the Premier League season. Noni Madueke scored a hat-trick in that match and starts again here, but Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson are among those rested on the bench. Per team news,  here's how the Blues lineup:   Chelsea XI to face Servette: Jorgensen, Disasi, Tosin, Badiashile, Veiga, Enzo, Dewsbury-Hall, Nkunku, Madueke, Mudryk, Guiu Bench: Bettinelli, Sanchez, Cucurella, Colwill, Acheampong, Caicedo, Palmer, George, Jackson CLICK BELOW TO WATCH LIVE:

 Chelsea face Guardiola's Manchester City in their opening game of the season.  It’s only three years since  Chelsea  beat City in the Champions League; now they live on different planets. Chelsea are starting again, again, under Enzo Maresca, with the same concerns about what they’re doing and whether he’ll be given enough time.  Raheem Sterling will seek clarity over his future  after his surprise omission from Chelsea’s squad to face Manchester City. The former City winger has had an up and down time since moving to Stamford Bridge two years ago. It’s pretty crowded in Chelsea’s attack since the arrival of Pedro Neto but you still would have expected a player of Sterling’s experience to be in the squad. He scored twice against City last season. But Enzo Maresca has plenty of wingers at his disposal and there are suggestions that Sterling, who earns around £300,000 a week, is up for sale. Juventus have been linked with him. Here's how both teams line...

 Chelsea have asked the player to return to the club.  Chelsea have asked Conor Gallagher to return to England as his proposed move to Atletico Madrid risks collapsing at the last minute, according to reports. The England international's move to the LaLiga club has been in limbo with him having been in Madrid for five days after travelling there to undergo a medical.  A £33.7million move has been agreed between the two clubs, with Gallagher travelling to the Spanish capital after being given permission by Chelsea to do so. His medical has been completed but Atletico need to offload one of their own players to complete the deal for Gallagher to become a new player in Spain.  Despite being advised he will only be a squad player in new manager Enzo Maresca's side, the Blues have requested Gallagher travels back to England and a flight is set to be booked, as reported by  Fabrizio Romano . Chelsea are in talks to bring Portugu...

It’s been another horrendous half, in general, from Chelsea, but we can pose a bit of threat at times, too, especially when the full back and goalkeeper conspire to give Madueke an easy header at the far post. Great ball in from Enzo and well attacked by Noni. WATCH GOAL BELOW:
