The Blues made a winning start to 2026 in the Premier League 2, in our first match under new Under-21s head coach Harry Hudson, as we fought back from a goal down to Crystal Palace to triumph 4-1, Leo Cardoso equalising before a hat-trick from captain Shumaira Mheuka sealed victory.

That followed another 4-1 home win over Reading in our last match before the winter break, meaning Chelsea can make it three in a row in the league when we head across London for a derby at West Ham, in our first away trip of the year. Here is how you can watch live...
