#CFC have nine fewer points than at the same stage last season (33 games). They were in fifth spot with 57 points, which would be enough to be in fifth now - a point behind Man Utd and Aston Villa.

The plight of Liam Delap: 20 games in a row without a goal and a Chelsea career yet to take off A lack of regular starts have hampered the 23-year-old but he looks a long way off establishing himself as Chelsea's first-choice No 9

Am told Colwill played around 60 minutes in a behind closed doors friendly for u-21s today. All went well. More good news for #CFC. But as Rosenior makes clear, his return to the first team won’t be rushed…understandably everyone wants to make sure he’s fully good to go.

Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior says Enzo Fernandez’s fall out with the club has not divided the dressing room and the midfielder is ready to face Manchester United on Saturday.
