Chelsea

The Blues will be hoping to reach yet another final this season, with Crystal Palace standing in their way of doing so.

In the other semi-final, Manchester City are set to face on of Liverpool or Nottingham Forest. The German coach will certainly be hoping it is third time lucky though, as his side have lost the past two finals in the competition on the bounce, having done so to Arsenal and then Leicester City last year. One player who has impressed under Vieira is Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher. The midfielder has become a nuisance for opponents, with his pressing often making him hard to shake off.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has made a decision that could scupper the sale of his club for a number of bidders, according to reports.

As a result, he could decide to veto bids from both the UK and the United States as both nations have decided to sanction Russian oligarchs following Putin's invasion of Ukraine. As reported by the Daily Mail, Abramovich has made the decision that he does not want to accept a bid from any country that has sanctioned Russian oligarchs.

The English authorities have always been privy to this. The silence of the authorities is most likely to have been due to the sale to the unassuming Abramovich serving their interests at the time as they also would have benefited from the English Premier League being seen globally as world football’s best, biggest and most attractive competition. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has also seen world football governing body Fifa and the European football governing body Uefa ban Russian national teams from all international matches, while Russian football clubs have been barred from competing in European club competitions. The source of Abramovich’s wealth is as common as that of most Russian oligarchs emerging from the ruins of the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989.

Chelsea will face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley next month, it has been confirmed.

UK property developer Nick Candy made the first public bid for Chelsea Football Club, with rival multibillion dollar offers from investors ranging from U.S. ...

Less than a year ago, the sport’s elites -- including Chelsea -- were pushing for ever greater returns by trying to stitch together a league of the richest European clubs in a largely closed competition. The plan flopped in the face of opprobrium from fans and national governments. While the government doesn’t want to get involved in picking a winner, it will have the final say if the bidder does not meet expectations. The only legal red line is that it shouldn’t be sold to a sanctioned individual, said a person familiar with the U.K. government’s thinking. In addition to Harris, co-founder of U.S. private equity firm Apollo Global Management Inc., there’s Ken Griffin, the founder of hedge fund Citadel, and Woody Johnson, a former US ambassador to the U.K. Chelsea expects one or more bids to exceed the 3 billion pound minimum price tag put on the club earlier this month, Bloomberg reported earlier Friday.
