Monday 1 March

The official first day of spring brings with it Premier League 2 action for our development squad as the young Blues travel to the East Midlands tonight to take on Leicester City.

Andy Myers’s side are searching for their first victory of 2021 as they bid to defend the national title won last term. Their most recent outing was an action-packed 3-2 defeat at home to Liverpool, which featured goals from Thierno Ballo and Tino Livramento (pictured top).

Kick-off at Leicester is at 7pm, with our coverage getting underway just before on the Chelsea website and 5th Stand app.

Wednesday 3 March

Gary Cahill and Diego Costa were the Chelsea goalscorers the last time we won at Anfield in the Premier League and a repeat of that November 2014 victory will be the aim as Thomas Tuchel takes his team to Merseyside to conclude this midweek round of league fixtures.

Our build-up begins on Wednesday afternoon with the manager’s pre-match press conference, broadcast live on our website and app from 1.30pm.

The boss is likely to provide a fitness update on Thiago Silva, who has missed the past six matches, as well as Callum Hudson-Odoi following the winger’s half-time withdrawal against Manchester United.

Thursday 4 March

With kick-off slated for 8.15pm in Liverpool, our Matchday Live show gets started at 7.05pm with exclusive build-up from Anfield, including a first look at the teams an hour before the game begins.

Featuring pre-match chat and post-match analysis, there will be blue-tinted discussion from our guests as well as further live shows at half-time and following the final whistle. You can watch live on the 5th Stand, Facebook Live and our official YouTube channel.

Saturday 6 March

This weekend sees two Academy matches streamed live on Chelsea platforms, starting on Saturday morning with a London derby in the Under-18 Premier League.

Tottenham are the visitors to Cobham for a meeting between two of the southern division’s top six, with victory for Ed Brand’s boys taking them to within a point of their capital rivals with three games in hand.

Following last week’s announcement that the 2020/21 FA Youth Cup would resume once nationwide restrictions ease later this month, this is a chance to see our youngsters in action before youth football’s premier knockout competition starts again with a fourth round tie against either Cambridge United or AFC Fylde. Kick-off against Spurs is at 11am live on the website, 5th Stand app and YouTube.

Saturday 7 March

Rounding off the week is another live game, this time for our Under-23s as they welcome Brighton to Kingsmeadow for a Sunday afternoon contest in Premier League 2.

The Seagulls won the reverse fixture 2-0 back in September so Myers’s men will be eager to put that right and close the gap on the teams above them in the league standings. Kick-off is at 2pm and you can tune in live either on the official Chelsea website or our 5th Stand mobile app.
