How To Watch As Chelsea prepare for Premier League return with AC Milan pre-season clash
Chelsea close out their shortened pre-season schedule with a high-profile clash against AC Milan at Stamford Bridge. Just days ago, the Blues impressed with a 2-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen, their first match since lifting the expanded Club World Cup and being crowned world champions.
Three weeks on from that global triumph, attention now shifts to the Premier League's imminent return. Manager Enzo Maresca is expected to field a strong side, with Crystal Palace visiting on the opening weekend. Cole Palmer, who started in the win over Leverkusen and set up Estevao's first ever goal for the club, is likely to feature again, while captain Enzo Fernandez could return after being the only outfield player to remain on the bench.

Virgil van Dijk ‘disappointed' after minute's silence for Diogo Jota disrupted
Virgil van Dijk expressed his disappointment after Sunday's minute's silence for Diogo Jota was ruined by a small section of Crystal Palace supporters at Wembley, as Liverpool head coach Arne Slot suggested the disruption may have been the result of a misunderstanding. Both teams gathered around the centre circle before kick-off in Sunday's Community Shield to pay their respects to Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who both died in a car accident in Spain last month. Advertisement However, the period of silence at Wembley had to be cut short by the referee Chris Kavanagh due to an interruption from a small minority of Crystal Palace fans. 'Yeah, I'm disappointed,' Van Dijk said. 'That's the only thing I can say. There was plenty trying to sush it down, but obviously that doesn't help them. It is what it is. 'You can't control…… how many people were here? 80,000, so yeah, it's disappointing to hear that. But if those persons can go home and be happy with themselves, then……' Asked about the curtailed minute's silence after watching his side beaten 3-2 on penalties following a 2-2 draw, Liverpool coach Slot said: 'I don't think this was planned. Maybe the fan was not aware of the minute's silence and was happy and tried to cheer for his team, then the Palace fans tried to calm him down and our fans reacted. 'I don't think they had a bad intention. I'm a positive person. I look at the respect paid to Diogo and Andre across the world.' Anfield legend Ian Rush and Crystal Palace co-owner and chairman Steve Parish both laid wreaths before the game in memory of Jota and his brother. () Spot the pattern.

Arne Slot says Liverpool ‘need to do better' at back ahead of title defence
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot accepts his team must tighten up defensively if they are to stand a chance of retaining their Premier League title. Despite twice taking the lead in the Community Shield, sloppy defensive play through the middle allowed Crystal Palace to equalise both times and that led to penalties, which the Eagles won 3-2. Questions have already been raised over whether Slot needs to bring in another centre-back – they have been linked with Palace's Marc Guehi, who is in the final year of his contract – as the sale of Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen has left him with just three in that position with Joe Gomez injured. Liverpool have not kept a clean sheet in pre-season, conceding 10 times in five senior games – including four against AC Milan – and Slot knows it is an area that needs attention. 'It's a bit mixed feelings. If you look at our attacking play against a team who is so compact, it is maybe a bit better than last season,' Slot told TNT Sports. 'But on the other hand we conceded two goals, which we did against Bilbao and two more against Milan and that's something we need to do better. 'I think we are able to create more now but we are conceding more at the moment and if you want to compete to win the league, one of the things is not to concede chances, let alone goals.' Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson enjoyed his moment in the spotlight, saving two penalties in the shootout. Liverpool's new signings Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong both scored but were pegged back each time by goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr. Mohamed Salah missed his second penalty in a week as one of three failures from the spot in the shootout and Justin Devenny scored Palace's fifth. 'I love the big moments,' Henderson said. 'I love being in that pressure moment. The homework we did on penalties was great. 'They have unbelievable players and have a great team, but two trophies in three months is incredible. 'These emotions are fantastic. With them 2-1 up you think we are out the game. The manager said we'd get chances and we did.'

Pedulla Claims ‘It's False That Inter Milan Don't Know The Price Tag' For Ademola Lookman
Alfred Pedulla believes that it's 'false' that Inter Milan don't know the price tag to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman. Pedulla claimed on his YouTube channel that the Nerazzurri are actually aware of what they would need to pay to sign the 27-year-old. Inter Milan are trying to sign Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman. The Nerazzurri have already made two offers for the Nigerian international. They have bid €40 million, which they then increased to €45 million including add-ons. However, Atalanta have rejected both of these offers from Inter. Therefore, reports have suggested that Inter are waiting for Atalanta to make them a clear counteroffer. This would be something to base a third offer on. Or, in the event that it is out of reach, to walk away from the table. Pedulla: 'False That Inter Don't Know Price Tag' For Ademola Lookman BERGAMO, ITALY – APRIL 13: Ademola Lookman during the Serie A match between Atalanta and Bologna at Gewiss Stadium on April 13, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by Pier) SportItalia transfer market expert Alfredo Pedulla claimed that 'If Lookman wanted to, he could move to a team abroad in five seconds.' 'He doesn't need any intermediaries for that,' he added. 'Surely there are teams that spend big money who could sign him,' Pedulla added. 'The story of a €53-56 million valuation isn't true,' he added. 'And it's absolutely false that Inter don't know the price tag.'
