Chelsea vs Djurgarden - LIVE!
Chelsea are expected to cruise into the Conference League final tonight as they host Djurgarden in the second leg of their semi-final tie. A 4-1 win a week ago in Sweden has the Blues in complete control of the tie, and only one of the biggest upsets in European football history will deny them a place in the final in Poland later this month.
Enzo Maresca's side were further boosted on Sunday by an impressive win over champions Liverpool, leaving them fifth in the Premier League table and still hoping to secure a place in the Champions League next season. With a crucial trip to Newcastle to come this weekend, Maresca could opt to rotate his side tonight.
Djurgarden scored a late consolation on home soil but that did little to change the picture of the tie. It has been a memorable run to this stage, having become the first Swedish side to reach the semi-finals of a European competition since 1987.

Enzo Maresca will again make a number of changes to his team.
Many of the players involved in the surprise win over Liverpool last weekend are likely to be rested, with Sunday's crucial trip to Newcastle in the top-five race a tougher test.
Goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen has played in all but one of Chelsea's Conference League matches so far this season, so he will keep his place between the sticks.
Further forward, Christopher Nkunku has regularly got the nod in Europe but is sidelined through injury, so academy star Tyrique George could again be trusted up front, just as he did last week in Sweden.
Fellow forward Marc Guiu is very close to a return, but Maresca suggested that the Spaniard's involvement, if any, would likely be from the bench.
Predicted Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): Jorgensen; Acheampong, Adarabioyo, Badiashile, Cucurella; Fernandez, James; Madueke, Dewsbury-Hall, Sancho; George

Newcastle shift focus to West Ham star in £75m summer move
Newcastle Eye Kudus as Summer Heir to Right-Flank Ambitions Positive EFL Cup bounce brings transfer momentum Newcastle United's return to relevance has been measured in more than just silverware. Their EFL Cup success and top-four finish have reignited belief at St James' Park, prompting the board and recruitment team to prepare for a proactive and targeted summer transfer window. Advertisement According to Football Fancast, the club are working through a four-player wish list: a new goalkeeper, a right-sided centre-back, a right-winger and a versatile forward. As journalist Keith Downie explains, the additions are deemed essential unless Newcastle are forced into reactive deals in the event of high-profile exits such as Bruno Guimarães or Anthony Gordon. Photo: IMAGO While Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo has long been viewed as the frontrunner for the right-wing slot, recent developments have brought a new name into sharper focus — West Ham's Mohammed Kudus. Kudus now seen as viable alternative to Mbeumo Pete O'Rourke, speaking to Football Insider, claims Newcastle 'can afford' Kudus' £75 million release clause, though there's belief they can negotiate a reduced price, particularly due to West Ham's financial position and Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules. Advertisement 'Newcastle can afford a deal for Kudus,' O'Rourke said. 'As it stands, Bryan Mbeumo is their top target for that right-sided forward position. Kudus is on their list and has admirers within the Newcastle hierarchy.' Photo: IMAGO With Manchester United reportedly in pole position for Mbeumo, Newcastle have shifted attention towards Kudus. While stylistically different, both players offer dynamic attacking attributes. Kudus, who has been praised for his dribbling, explosiveness, and power, may lack Mbeumo's consistency, but certainly matches his ceiling. Player profile makes Kudus a compelling fit Kudus is no unknown quantity in Premier League circles. His performances at West Ham have prompted widespread recognition, with teammate Aaron Cresswell once remarking: 'He's a top, top talent and I think we haven't seen the best of him yet… You just can't get near him. He's so strong, so quick, so sharp.' Advertisement This versatility and raw athleticism make Kudus a compelling fit for a Newcastle system that thrives on transitional moments and physical intensity. He is more than just a stopgap solution; he could be the cornerstone of a restructured attack. Photo: IMAGO Market realities could make deal feasible With Newcastle's Champions League campaign secured, there's every incentive to add proven quality. While £75 million may be excessive in this market, there's growing confidence that West Ham will listen to offers significantly below that threshold. Ultimately, if Mbeumo ends up at Old Trafford, Kudus becomes more than just Plan B — he is a statement of intent. A signing that signals Newcastle's continued ambition and confidence in the recruitment model that helped them climb from mid-table stagnation to European contenders. Photo: IMAGO Our View – EPL Index Analysis Missing out on Mbeumo would hurt, no question — he's a proven Premier League performer. But Kudus? He feels like the sort of wild card who could blow the doors off this project. Advertisement What's exciting is how well he'd slot into Eddie Howe's system. We've seen what the coaching staff have done with players like Joelinton and Isak — give Kudus that kind of attention, and the sky's the limit. His close control in tight spaces and that burst of acceleration? Perfect for unlocking deep defences, something Newcastle have struggled with when teams sit back at St James'. And let's be honest, they're past the point of shopping small. If they want to compete with the best, they need players who believe they belong at the top. Kudus has that swagger. He's got Champions League-level flair. This would be a proper signal to the rest of the league that Newcastle aren't just here for the ride — they're building something serious.

Mamardashvili v Alisson: Could there really be a battle to be Liverpool's No 1?
It's rare that such an outpouring of emotion should follow the exit of a backup goalkeeper. The understudy stopper is often a forlorn figure, a guy simply there to make up the numbers and occasionally cover in times of need. Yet over the years, Caoimhin Kelleher has become much more than a bit-part player at Liverpool, which is why news of his £18million ($24.3m) move to Brentford yesterday has been met with an equal degree of sadness and celebration. Advertisement This was a man, signed from Cork-based Ringmahon Rangers in 2015, who steadily became Ireland's standout goalkeeper and was clearly good enough to be an established No 1. He filled in admirably whenever Alisson was absent and earned the undisputed tag of the best backup goalkeeper in the Premier League. If it wasn't for the continued brilliance of the Brazilian, then Kelleher's journey at Liverpool might have been different. Although he leaves highly decorated with five major medals, his contributions have been limited to just 25 Premier League starts in six seasons. For years, he's made it clear that he wants more. Perhaps it was fitting that he played more of a role in winning the 2024-25 Premier League title. Liverpool's League Cup wins in 2022 and 2024 were made possible through Kelleher's vital contributions, but he watched on during the Champions League win in 2019 and in the latter stages of the FA Cup success in 2022, which are the other trophies he has won. By playing 10 games at the back end of 2024 (three in the Champions League and seven in the Premier League) when Alisson sustained a hamstring injury that ruled him out for almost three months, Kelleher reminded those watching of his high standards. His safe pair of hands helped build confidence when other clubs might have crumbled without their first-choice goalkeeper. In the 2-0 Champions League win over Real Madrid, it was Kelleher who pulled off multiple saves to keep a clean sheet, as well as denying Kylian Mbappe from the penalty spot. Such was his importance to the team that some Liverpool fans even turned his mistake against Newcastle United in the league in December into a positive, quipping that without it — and the subsequent two dropped points in the 3-3 draw at St James's Park — the fixture schedule meant Liverpool would not have been able to win the league at Anfield in April. Advertisement On a more serious note, there was an acceptance that as much as so many people wanted him to stay, Kelleher needed to play every week rather than every time Alisson was absent, and that leaving this summer was inevitable unless there was a significant change. To earn £18million from a player who was heading into the final year of his contract also represents good business for Liverpool, especially as Giorgi Mamardashvili is already signed up as the next man in line. Yet it's clear that Mamardashvili, signed from Valencia for £29million last summer (he then stayed at the Spanish club last season), will face the same issues, at least initially, in that Alisson remains the first choice for head coach Arne Slot. Mamardashvili, who has sights on becoming the best goalkeeper in the world himself in the future, wants to play rather than sit on the sidelines and is awaiting an update from Liverpool on how often he is expected to be used next season. Unless a decision is made to send him out on loan — a move that now looks unlikely — the 24-year-old will have to bide his time and try to work his way into the team. He has been learning English and preparing for life at Liverpool for some time and is confident about taking up his position in the first-team squad when he returns for pre-season training at the start of July. Breaking up the best goalkeeping department in the country in this way carries an element of risk for Liverpool. Third-choice stopper, Vitezslav Jaros, is also likely to leave this summer as he seeks a loan move to a club within the top-five big leagues of Europe after a year watching from the sidelines. Harvey Davies, 21, will fill in as the third choice if Jaros does head out on loan. But it is Mamardashvili who will be going head-to-head with Alisson for the No 1 spot. Liverpool believe Mamardashvili has the qualities to become the next starting goalkeeper and the long-term replacement for Alisson when he eventually moves on. There are also ongoing concerns over Alisson's injury record after he missed those two months with a hamstring problem in 2024-25. Advertisement Last summer, sporting director Richard Hughes made the decision to keep three senior goalkeepers on board for that very reason and it paid dividends, with Jaros providing cover for Kelleher when he held the fort in November and December. Now if Alisson sustains an injury, the pressure will fall on Mamardashvili to fill in, a highly rated and experienced international, but still one who is untested at Premier League level. Liverpool signed him as a matter of urgency last summer. They had tracked him for months but, after his standout performances for Georgia at the European Championship last summer, the club felt they needed to act quickly with so many eyes watching. Interest in Alisson from Saudi Arabia also fuelled the need for succession planning, just in case any pursuit turned into a formal process. It's understood that interest has cooled, and Alisson's contract still has one year left to run plus another 12-month option in the club's favour. While Mamardashvili's form was not as impressive for Valencia this season as it had been for Georgia, he was part of a team struggling at the foot of the table for a large part of the season (they finished 12th in La Liga), which had a knock-on effect. Playing at Premier League champions Liverpool, a team who face fewer shots at goal and have more possession, will suit his game. It is why he's earmarked as the club's man for the future.

Is FIFA's Club World Cup the Biggest Flop in Soccer History?
Is FIFA's Club World Cup the Biggest Flop in Soccer History? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The FIFA Club World Cup 2025, set to dazzle in the U.S., is stumbling out of the gate with lackluster ticket sales, even after slashing group-stage prices by up to 50% [The Athletic]. Fans appear unmoved by the expanded 32-team tournament, leaving stadiums at risk of echoing emptiness. Supporters aren't buying the hype, or the $30 tickets, per The Athletic. Advertisement FIFA's bold revamp, hosting 63 matches across 11 American cities from June 14 to July 13, aimed to rival the Champions League's prestige [The Athletic]. Yet, despite featuring heavyweights like Manchester City, Chelsea, and Real Madrid, the tournament struggles to fill seats. Dynamic pricing, a controversial strategy adjusting costs based on demand, has backfired. High initial prices, some reaching $2200 for the final, alienated fans [The Athletic]. FIFA responded by cutting semi-final tickets to $140 and final tickets to $300, but empty seats loom large, especially at venues like the 90,000-capacity Rose Bowl. Manchester City, the 2023 champions, face Juventus, Wydad AC, and Al Ain in Group G, yet even their star power hasn't sparked demand [The Athletic]. Fans on X express frustration, with some calling the event a 'flop' and others skeptical about traveling across the U.S. for matches [X].
