The first match in a Premier League 2 double-header of live games to watch on the official Chelsea website and app sees our Under-21s looking to continue their impressive start to 2025.
Since the turn of the year, Chelsea Under-21s have hit a good run of form, winning both of our Premier League 2 fixtures so far in 2025.
Following the 3-0 home win over Reading, a dramatic second-half at Nottingham Forest saw us fight back from two goals down to win 4-2, as forwards Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Donnell McNeilly found the net twice each.
The Blues will be looking to keep that up as we go into two Premier League 2 fixtures in the space of four days either side of this weekend, starting when we host Southampton at Kingsmeadow on Friday evening. Here is how you can watch all the action live...
