Chelsea 2 - 0 Stoke City


The champions won again after goals from Florent Malouda and Didier Drogba saw off Stoke City.

Chelsea dominated the match from the start and it could've been worse for Stoke City if not for Sorensen, who saved so many shots and even one from the penalty spot by Frank Lampard.

The first goal was scored by Malouda after a nicely done through-pass from the captain, John Terry.

Chelsea's second goal was scored by Didier Drogba from the penalty spot. Sorensen saved one from earlier on, but couldn't do nothing this time.

Ramires made his debut for Chelsea, coming in for Michael Essien.

Next Saturday, the champions will face Avram Grant's West Ham away.

UPTHEBLUES!!

Wigan 0 Chelsea 6


Chelsea dominated the whole entire game and smashed Wigan with 6 goals without reply!

The first half of the game was dominated by Wigan with more ball possesion, but they failed to get any goal pass Petr Cech. Chelsea's first goal was easily scored by Florent Malouda after Wigan's keeper saved a shot from Frank Lampard.

Chelsea then started the second half with an early 48th minute goal by Nicolas Anelka, with Jon Obi Mikel passing a wonderful long ball. Four minutes later, Anelka scored another goal and this time was assisted by Didier Drogba.

Chelsea changed Florent Malouda with Salomon Kalou and Essien with Benayoun and both of them was on the score-sheet with Kalou scoring twice and Benayoun getting the sixth goal and his first for Chelsea since his move from Liverpool.

Didier Drogba may have not scored a goal, but he assisted three of them unselfishly.

So, there you go, another week, another Chelsea smashing win!

UPTHEBLUES!

RAMIRES SIGNS FOR CHELSEA!

Chelsea has officially signed Ramires from Benfica in a deal reported to be 17mil pounds.

The Brazilian playmaker will join his new Chelsea mates next week and he said: " Every player in the world would love to play for Chelsea and its a great opportunity that was given to me. I will give my best to repay this chance and I am very happy."

Mr. Ancelloti, who was delighted with the arrival of Ramires said: " He is a fantastic player, a fantastic midfielder, he is very young and will be the future of the Brazilian national team and I hope he will be the future of Chelsea."

PREVIEW: Chelsea vs West Bromwich

Chelsea will start defending their Barclays Premier League Crown against the newcomers, West Bromwich at Stamford Bridge. It will also be a return for a former Chelsea man, now turned manager of West Bromwich, Roberto Di Matteo.

Starting line-up:

PETR CECH, DROGBA and Alex are all fit to face West Brom. But, bad news is Frank Lampard is a doubt after picking up an ankle knock on England duty. New boy, Yossi Benayoun, is most likely to take his place.

Here are my starting eleven prediction:
Cech, Terry, Cole, Ivanovic, Ferreira, Essien, Lampard, Kalou, Malouda, Anelka, Drogba.
