Sam Kerr scored twice as holders Chelsea put five goals past WSL2 side Crystal Palace to reach the fifth round of the Women's FA Cup. Millie Bright found an early opener for Sonia Bompastor's side, nodding in a corner at the back post to take the lead in the 13th minute. The Blues made it 3-0 by the half-hour mark,

PSG have identified Enzo Fernandez as a potential target, reports L'Equipe. As previously reported, the Argentinian midfielder is among the players who interest the Parisian club, especially since he is considering his future at Chelsea. He had developed a good relationship with Enzo Maresca, and the Italian's dismissal, replaced by Liam Rosenior, has clearly affected him. A move is highly unlikely in January but it would be a surprise if and when it did come to pass.

"On Monday night, I was told by somebody who knows what's going on at City - but also I think probably Palace as well - he said he thinks Guehi wants to stay until the summer and he prefers Liverpool in any case," he said on the Let Me Talk podcast. "Somebody else messaged me on Twitter, and I know he's very good on other club stuff, he was like 'yeah, he wants to stay until the summer, and he prefers Liverpool and Arsenal'."

Chelsea secured a statement 5-0 victory against struggling West Ham to breathe life back into their Women's Super League title defence. Sandy Baltimore scored a brace while Lauren James and Alyssa Thompson also got on the scoresheet at Kingsmeadow in an impressive demolition of their struggling London rivals. Rita Guarino endured a nightmare start to her West Ham tenure as her side conceded four first-half goals to put them firmly on the back foot on in an already difficult encounter.

Chelsea could reportedly launch a surprise transfer move for Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham to replace Cole Palmer. The England international is emerging as an ambitious target for the Blues amid some fear that their former manager Enzo Maresca could try to sign Palmer if he replaces Pep Guardiola as Manchester City manager. That's according to Fichajes, though they also state that Bellingham is not interested in leaving Real Madrid, so it could be that this deal is unlikely.

Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella will only serve a one-match suspension following his red card in Wednesday's Premier League defeat to local rivals Fulham. The Spaniard, 27, received a straight red card for pulling back Fulham's Harry Wilson when he was running through on goal. An offence which leads to the denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO) is punished by a one-match ban.

"We knew we controlled the game. We had to be aware, with some transitions, we gave them a chance. We deserved the three points and did more to win the game. "We changed with the substitution of Kevin to be much more offensive. Most of these players played three games in seven days. It's an incredible effort from these guys and they deserve all the credit."

Chelsea have been linked with a surprise move for the Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold. The English full-back joined Real Madrid as a free agent at the start of the season, but his performances have not been up to the mark. He has been criticised for his inconsistent performances, and Chelsea are looking to bring him back to the Premier League.
