The official Chelsea website checks on the progress being made by some of our loan players and previews another big week...



Ruben-Loftus-Cheek and Kasey Palmer (pictured above) went up against each other as Crystal Palace hosted Huddersfield Town on Saturday. Premier League debutant Palmer would have been the happier of the two as the newly-promoted side beat the Eagles 3-0, with the Blues man starting in a three-man attacking midfield. Loftus-Cheek also started in an advanced position and his performance was considered a highlight on a disappointing afternoon for Palace.
Tammy Abraham was making his first start in the top flight, in Swansea’s goalless draw at Southampton. The striker played 81 minutes and went close with a first-half header before seeing a goalbound second-half effort blocked.
Kurt Zouma was part of Stoke’s three-man defence, as the Potters fell to a 1-0 defeat against Everton at Goodison. Izzy Brown started for Brighton in Saturday evening’s match against Manchester City, but he came off after 18 minutes with a hamstring injury, the Seagulls going on to lose 2-0.
In the Championship, Ola Aina and Michael Hector were part of Hull’s rearguard as the Tigers beat Burton 4-1, with Aina providing an assist for one of the home side’s goals. Lewis Baker came on as a second-half substitute for Middlesbrough against Sheffield United after completing his loan switch to Teesside on Friday. He was up against Jamal Blackman who was between the sticks for the Blades and it was Boro who came out on top, winning 1-0.
Ike Ugbo came on as a second-half substitute for Barnsley, who were beaten 2-1 by Ipswich at the weekend. The striker scored his first senior goal in last week’s 4-3 EFL Cup win against Morecambe.
It’s been a good week for Lucas Piazon who scored Fulham’s equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Reading on Saturday. That came after Tomas Kalas was sent off for the Cottagers inside the first minute following a professional foul. Piazon had also been on target in the League Cup, grabbing the opening goal for Fulham in their 2-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers.
In League One, Jay Dasilva started for Charlton who lost 2-0 at Plymouth, while Bradley Collins was in goal for Forest Green Rovers in League Two, as they were beaten by the same scoreline at Mansfield Town.
In the National League, Nathan Baxter was between the sticks in two matches for Woking last week – a 3-1 loss at Tranmere followed by a 3-0 defeat at Barrow. Fellow Academy shot-stopper Jared Thompson featured in a thrilling 5-2 win in Chippenham Town’s derby against Bath City last Tuesday, before a 2-0 loss to Braintree Town on Saturday.
In the Eredivisie, Marco van Ginkel scored PSV Eindhoven’s third in a 3-2 win over AZ Alkmaar. Fankaty Dabo started in defence for Vitesse who beat NAC Brada 4-1, with Charlie Colkett and Matt Miazga both coming off the bench.
Todd Kane made his first appearance for Groningen, coming off the bench to play the final eight minutes of an entertaining game as they drew 3-3 with Heerenveen.
In Belgium, Victorien Angban was a late substitute for Waasland-Beveren who won 3-0 at Oostende.
Mario Pasalic opened the scoring in Saturday’s Moscow derby in the Russian Premier League. He netted early in the second half for Spartak, but CSKA won 2-1 thanks to two late goals. Pasalic had also been in midweek action, starting in midfield, and providing an assist, in a 2-0 win against Arsenal Tula. 
In Serbia, Danilo Pantic started for Partizan as they won 1-0 at Vojvodina.

Rodrigo keeps Valencia resurgence rolling

Image
MADRID: Valencia maintained their stunning revival under Marcelino Garcia Toral to move to within a point of La Liga leaders Barcelona with a hard-fought 2-1 win at Alaves on Saturday thanks to Rodrigo’s penalty 24 minutes from time. Simeone Zaza also moved just two goals behind Lionel Messi as La Liga’s top scorer with nine when he blasted the visitors into the lead 10 minutes before half-time from Manchester United loanee Andreas Pereira’s cut-back. Alaves remain in the relegation zone with just three points from 10 matches, but they did manage just their fourth goal of the season in a spirited second-half showing. Alexis rose highest to head home Munir El Haddadi’s corner just four minutes after the break and only a brilliant save from Neto prevented El Haddadi from putting the visitors in front moments later. However, Alaves undid all their good work early in the second period with a moment of madness from defender Rodrigo Ely as he handled a cross inside hi...

Learn To Invest Like A Casino Rather Than A Gambler

Image
The way that markets work can be explained using the analogy of sports betting. In Las Vegas, when you bet on a team, you cannot bet $100 to get $100 -- a straight up bet on who will win the game. Instead, the casino will either pay out at a different ratio or offer a bet on the point spread. The point spread basically means that the favored team must win by more than that spread for the bet to pay out. If you are betting on an NFL football game and the point spread is 3.5 points, you would lose that bet if the favored team wins but only by a three-point field goal. Think of it like playing a game of basketball with a younger sibling and spotting them a three-point handicap to make the game more even. If set fairly, that handicap would give you both an equal opportunity to win. Relating this back to the markets, stock prices function similarly to a point spread. At its essence, a stock’s price is the price at which a buyer and a seller agree to transact because the buyer believ...

Spurs stroll as Kane bags brace

Image
HUDDERSFIELD, United Kingdom: A Harry Kane masterclass ensured Tottenham cruised to a 4-0 victory against Huddersfield on Saturday. Tottenham beat Cypriot champions APOEL Nicosia 3-0 courtesy of a brilliant Kane hat-trick on Tuesday and he was just as impressive in West Yorkshire, killing off Huddersfield inside the opening 20 minutes with two superbly taken goals. Ben Davies put Tottenham ahead early on and substitute Moussa Sissoko added a late fourth as the London side blew away David Wagner’s men. The early kick-off gave Tottenham a chance to keep in touch with the Premier League leaders and they gleefully took that opportunity against a Huddersfield team with plenty of heart but little real quality. Huddersfield have proven to be surprisingly durable in defence this term, keeping four clean sheets in their opening six league matches, but that was long forgotten during a 90 minutes they will want to forget. They were more than a match for Spurs early on as Tomm...
