Chelsea will be hosting Port Vale today, Saturday, April 4, 2026. This is a big opportunity for Chelsea to return to winning ways, as they have lost four straight games under Liam Rosenior, which is not normal for the club.
Softfootball gathered that Port Vale are currently 24th in League One, so if Chelsea fail to win this match, it will be a major concern.
There has been a lot of discussion during the week, mainly around Enzo Fernández’s statements and the reaction that followed. His agent came out to defend him, stating that his comments were not directed at Chelsea, but rather answers to questions about where he would like to live, also mentioning that Chelsea are not currently offering him a new contract.
Focusing on the match, Reece James is not available.
But players like Gittens, Estêvão Willian, and Levi Colwill are back in training.
Chelsea will need more from Moisés Caicedo, as his performances in recent games have not been at their best. Romeo Lavia has also been training and will need to step up his performance.
Chelsea are expected to play with much more intensity in this game. The energy levels in recent matches have been low, and fans will be expecting a convincing win. However, football does not always go as expected, and Chelsea will still need to perform well to secure the result.
