Another high-scoring game for Chelsea against Leeds United. Valentin Barco insists he is ready to play more games for Chelsea after his goalscoring performance in the Carabao Cup

Chelsea's star attackers are bound to be popular in Gameweek Four but is it worth making sweeping changes to your team to sign them?

Watson, a defensive midfielder, scored in Chelsea's U21 wins over Bournemouth and West Ham United last month.

Manu Kone remains on Chelsea's transfer shortlist and will be closely monitored across the coming months. It has been an entertaining start to the season for Chelsea, who look to be one of the most front-footed teams in the Premier League under the leadership of Xabi Alonso.

Across the first three matchdays of the 2026-27 season, teams have attempted 186 shots from outside the box (excluding blocks).

The Premier League has confirmed this year’s fixtures over the festive period with a full slate of Boxing Day games returning to the calendar. Just one top-flight match was held on the day after Christmas last year amid a typically congested period of action, with seven held on 27 December.
