Chelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace: Eagles scrap to point at Stamford Bridge
A pair of trophy-toting Londoners stalled Sunday when Chelsea drew Crystal Palace 0-0 at Stamford Bridge. It's a fine point for Palace but the Eagles may lament an overturned Eberechi Eze free kick goal. WATCH — Chelsea vs Crystal Palace full match replay Shot attempts were plenty — the Blues outshot Palace 19-12 — but Chelsea held more than 70% possession and will feel they let good chances go for nothing in a disappointing start to the season. For live updates and highlights throughout Chelsea vs Crystal Palace, check out PST's live blog coverage below. How to watch Chelsea vs Crystal Palace live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 9am ET Sunday Venue: Stamford Bridge TV Channel: USA Network Streaming: Stream live online via Chelsea vs Crystal Palace live updates, final score: 0-0 Chelsea subs Liam Delap will get the final 17 minutes plus stoppage up top in place of Joao Pedro. A few minutes later, it's Andrey Santos on for Enzo Fernandes and Malo Gusto for Reece James. Chelsea sub Jamie Gittens' day is over after 54 minutes, and Estevao Willian makes his much-anticipated Blues debut. Halftime — Chelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace Anyone's game here, where Chelsea have been volume attackers but Palace have proven up to the challenge. Robert Sanchez leg save! An excellent Adam Wharton through ball has J-P Mateta digging a shot out from 15 yards. Sanchez reacts well with his left leg to kick it away and keep it 0-0. Eberechi Eze free kick goal — marvelous, but disallowed! A vicious free kick goal from Eberechi Eze but will it stand? Marc Guehi plows Moises Caicedo off the end of the wall and VAR consultation is underway. Referee Darren England turns on his microphone and explains that Guehi was within one meter of the wall — of course he was, he moved it! — when Eze struck the ball. No goal, and it was excellent to have the referee explain it to the crowd. 0-0 Chelsea lineup Sanchez, James, Acheampong, Chalobah, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Palmer, Neto, Gittens, Pedro Crystal Palace lineup Henderson, Munoz, Richards, Lacroix, Guehi, Mitchell, Wharton, Hughes, Sarr, Eze, Mateta Chelsea vs Crystal Palace preview A pair of trophy-toting Londoners meet Sunday when Chelsea welcome Crystal Palace to Stamford Bridge. The hosts won the Club World Cup this summer, giving manager Enzo Maresca and all of Chelsea's supporters reason to believe their team could be back in competition for a Premier League title. Their South London visitors have silverware in store, too, having added the Community Shield to their FA Cup triumph. Palace finished 12th on the Premier League table but were nearly the same distance from first as the bottom three. That was good for 16 points back of fourth-place Chelsea. So dreams will be high on both sides of London as Oliver Glasner's Palace looks to beat a Chelsea side they drew 1-1 twice last season. Chelsea team news, focus OUT: Levi Colwill (torn ACL - MORE), Benoit Badiashile (knock), Nicolas Jackson (suspension), Mykhailo Mudryk (suspension), Omari Kellyman (thigh) | QUESTIONABLE: Romeo Lavia (undisclosed), Wesley Fofana (thigh) Crystal Palace team news, focus OUT: Cheick Doucoure (knee), Chadi Riad (knee), Matheus Franca (adductor), Eddie Nketiah (thigh), Daichi Kamada (knee), Caleb Kporha (back) Chelsea vs Crystal Palace prediction The Blues will miss Levi Colwill but Palace have some uncertainty in their ranks as stars Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze are reportedly being wooed by some of the Premier League's big boys. Chelsea's time together at the Club World Cup gave them a headstart on chemistry for the season, and that feels likely to tilt the game a bit further in favor of the hosts. Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace.

The beachy English seaside town that is getting a new direct train service from London
Soon Londoners will have access to a brand new summer holiday destination, because plans have been revealed for a new train directly linking the capital to a seaside town way up in County Durham. The train, operated by Grand Central, will link King's Cross with Seaham, a seaside town known for its rugged, beautiful beaches and maritime history. The town is also home to a whopping 10 chippies, so come hungry. Beginning from December 2025, this will be Seaham's first ever direct rail connection with the Big Smoke. The Seaham stop will be added to Grand Central's service from King's Cross to Sunderland, which currently goes via Peterborough, York, Thirsk, Northallerton, Eaglescliffe and Hartelpool. The service is one of several new routes recently confirmed on the East Coast Mainline. Some of the top things to do at the harbour town are seeing its sweeping coastline, which is known to be an ideal spot for sea glass hunting, walking the coast path to Nose's Point, and visiting the East Durham Heritage & Lifeboat Centre, or perhaps the Mole Sanctuary, if that's your thing. Grahame Morris, the MP for Easington said: 'I'm delighted to share that the Office of Rail and Road has confirmed that Grand Central Trains will begin stopping at Seaham Station from December 2025 to December 2026. '[There will be] four stopping services per day in each direction.' He added: 'Although the approval is currently for a one-year period using five-car trains, I'm confident that these services will be well-used by residents across our community. 'This means that our constituency will now have direct rail links to York and London, alongside increased capacity to local destinations such as Sunderland and Hartlepool.' The Seaham train is one of a few new rail services that will link London with the north and Scotland coming later this year. Read about the new services arriving at Hull, Newcastle and Glasgow here.

A London apartment tower with echoes of Victorian rail and Ancient Rome
[LONDON] - Across large parts of London, architects and developers face a common conundrum. On one hand, they need to create contemporary, state-of-the art buildings that maximise a site's potential. On the other hand, they also need to be acutely sensitive to historic cityscapes, or risk being either denied planning permission or facing accusations of ruining the city. Cadence, a new apartment complex in London's Kings Cross designed by Alison Brooks Architects, manages to tread the line between these two needs with elegance and invention. A large but by no means overbearing complex built on a former goods yards directly behind a Victorian railway terminus, Cadence harmonises with the older architecture in its vicinity, without descending into pomposity or historicist cosplay. The inspiration for Cadence's red-brick arches will be clear to anyone who knows the area – they recall the extravagant neo-Gothic railway terminus of St. Pancras Station, on whose former goods yards it is built. Before it was revamped and expanded to make space for trains to continental Europe in 2007, the station's splendid colonnaded railway viaducts extended across Cadence's current site; their demolition is a source of regret for many Londoners. Touring the building with Bloomberg CityLab, Brooks confirms that the uncanny echoes of these viaducts are intentional. 'As an architect, to enable those moments where you look at something contemporary, but it reminds you of something very powerful and memorable from the past that we can identify with – it's honoring that memory, enjoying it, and being optimistic and creative with historic elements,' Brooks says. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Tuesday, 12 pm Property Insights Get an exclusive analysis of real estate and property news in Singapore and beyond. Sign Up Sign Up While the building clearly echoes the nearby Victorian station (albeit with elongated Bezier arches rather than the station's pointed neo-Gothic ones), the bricks themselves draw inspiration from a different memory: Brooks's time as an architecture student in Rome. Thin to the point of being tile-shaped, they resemble the ancient bricks still seen across the Roman Empire's former imperial capital. Those structures were built in ways that echo 21st-century construction techniques. 'The Romans invented concrete,' Brooks says, 'and in Roman construction brick was used as a permanent formwork for concrete backing.' In other words, Roman brickwork was both a facing for a building's façade and a form of external mold into which concrete could be poured. That's a technique not a world away from today's use of brick as a veneer covering a concrete core. While the inspirations are cosmopolitan, Brooks notes that the materials used are a distinctively British blend rarely found across the Atlantic. 'We work with brick primarily, or stone and pre-cast,' she says. 'These kind of quality permanent materials are quite rare to see in housing design in North America, where it's considered very expensive and apparently there are no bricklayers left.' Despite the somewhat artisanal look of this bespoke brick, the construction methods used to put it in place are contemporary. To slash emissions and make up for limited space on-site, the façade panels were substantially prefabricated off-site. 'Off-site fabrication is the future of construction, because I think it's our only way to achieve anything close to zero waste,' says Brooks. 'A lot of the emissions in construction comes from materials thrown away during the building process. Prefabrication addresses that by producing all the elements of the building in a climate-controlled, safe environment. Here we worked with a super-compact building site, so there wasn't really anywhere to store material. Everything came on a truck and was lifted into place.' On a tight, high-profile site like this, there is understandable pressure to deliver a large amount of sellable floorspace. This is one possible reason – beyond the obvious sustainability benefits – why Cadence only provides parking space in its small garage for people with disabilities. Elsewhere, however, the building avoids the monolithic effect that might come from trying to squeeze the absolute maximum of units from the site. It opts instead for a slightly saw-toothed silhouette where mini towers of varying heights, with ample gaps between partly occupied by roof terraces, are grouped around a palazzo-like inner courtyard. Breaking up the building's massing this way makes it look a little like a turreted fortress – although efforts to make the inner courtyard visible externally means that it resembles a fortress where someone accidentally forgot to pull up the drawbridge. 'It's part of my philosophy as an architect that memory is fundamental to creativity,' Brooks says. 'You can't be creative if you have no memory, nothing to reference.' BLOOMBERG
