A trio of big matches under the floodlights take centre stage for the Blues with our men's and women's teams in midweek European action before the Academy knockout action takes over.

Monday

We have all the reaction to a pair of league victories on Sunday. That includes Enzo Maresca's thoughts on Chelsea's 4-3 victory at Tottenham Hotspur, while we also hear from goalscorers Cole Palmer and Jadon Sancho.

Our women's team netted four goals themselves, beating Brighton & Hove Albion 4-2 at Kingsmeadow earlier in the day, with Sonia Bompastor and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd giving their verdict on an incredible 13th consecutive win in all competitions this season.

Our Chelsea Advent series continues every day this week too, as today we look back on some Chelsea's greatest number nines.

Tuesday

Chelsea Women have their sights set on a fifth win in a row in the Champions League group stage. Bompastor and one of her players will be speaking to the media in their pre-match press conference at 3pm, followed by open training, both of which will be streamed live on the official Chelsea website and app.

Tuesday's advent piece will be a celebration of Millie Bright's decade as a Blue as we mark the 10th anniversary of the Chelsea Women captain signing for the club.

Wednesday

The build-up to Thursday evening's Astana vs Chelsea Conference League tie begins bright and early on Wednesday morning, when Maresca and a member of his squad will speak to the media at Cobham. The pre-match press conference will begin at 8.30am and be streamed live on the official Chelsea website and app, followed by the first 15 minutes of open training.

The European focus remains into the evening, when Chelsea Women host Dutch side Twente at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League group stage, looking to follow up our 3-1 win in the Netherlands with another victory. The match will be shown live by DAZN in the UK and begins at 8pm, whilst we will also have updates throughout in our Chelsea Women vs Twente Match Centre.

Wednesday's Chelsea Advent piece will see us mark the 11th of December by looking back at some of Guro Reiten's best goals.

Thursday

Our final away trip of the Conference League league stage takes place on Thursday evening, when our longest European trip to date takes us to eastern Kazakhstan to take on Astana. We have four wins out of four so far in the competition proper and could seal our progress to the last 16 with another victory. The game kicks off at 3.30pm UK time and will be shown live by TNT Sports in the UK, while we will also be providing updates on all the action as it happens in our Astana vs Chelsea Match Centre.

As for the Chelsea Advent series, we will mark the 12th by looking at 12 of Chelsea's most memorable European away days.

Friday

Following the highlights of Thursday's Conference League match against Astana, we will be bringing you all the reaction from Maresca and his players to our fifth game of the league stage.

Attention will also begin to turn to the weekend, with Maresca's pre-match press conference ahead of our Premier League meeting with Brentford, followed by Bompastor addressing the media about Chelsea Women's return to Women's Super League action.

In the evening, it is all about our Under-18s, though. The FA Youth Cup is the most prestigious competition in academy football and Chelsea begin this season's campaign in the third round with an away trip to Leicester City, which kicks off at 7pm. It is a rematch of the same stage in last term's competition, when got underway with a 3-1 win over the Foxes.

Saturday

Chelsea Women have their own trip to Leicester City to look forward to on Saturday, and we will bring you all the action as it happens in our Leicester City vs Chelsea Women Match Centre. The game will also be shown live on the Women's Super League YouTube channel when it kicks off at midday, as Bompastor's Blues aim to further cement our five-point lead at the top of the table.

Sunday

Following our midweek exertions in European competition, it is another Sunday kick-off in the Premier League this week. This time it is a later one, starting at 7pm UK time, when we host Brentford at Stamford Bridge in the second of this month's three London derbies. As always, you can follow all the build-up and action live in our Chelsea vs Brentford Match Centre. We will also have all the immediate reaction after the final whistle, along with match highlights at 11pm.
