Antonio Conte told Jose Mourinho the feeling is mutual after the Manchester United manager said he regarded their bitter feud with “contempt”. The two Premier League bosses have traded barbs since the new year after Mourinho’s comment he did not feel the need to behave like “a clown” during games touched a nerve with Conte. That sparked an extraordinary war of words between the pair, where Conte accused Mourinho of having “demenza senile”, which directly translates as senile dementia, prompting the United boss to hit back by appearing to allude to a four-month suspension Conte served in relation to match-fixing. Conte was later cleared of wrongdoing. . . . . . #AntonioConte #cfc4life #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #premierleague #pl (at Stamford Bridge)

Both Manchester United and Chelsea could be left disappointed in the January transfer window over their pursuit of Juventus’ Alex Sandro, the Independent reports. The 26-year-old is said to be keen to leave the Italian club, but the Serie A champions seem reluctant to lose their defender midway through the season. . . . . . #alexsandro #cfc4life #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #manchesterunited #manchesterunitedfc #manutd #manunited #mufc #manutdfans #mufcfamily #mufcfans #manutdfans #manutdforever #manutdfc #premierleague #pl (at Juventus FC)

Antonio Conte says Chelsea must sign players before any leave. The head coach has bemoaned the size of his squad, given the Blues are competing in four competitions. With the winter transfer window now open, Conte believes Chelsea must recruit before allowing any players to move on. . . . . . #AntonioConte #cfc4life #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #premierleague #pl (at Stamford Bridge)

Antonio Conte refused to discuss @hazardeden_10’s future despite claims from his father that he has rejected a new contract at Chelsea. Hazard’s father Thierry has told Belgian newspaper Le Soir that the offer of a new deal was turned down because of “interest” from Real Madrid. Chelsea insist no new contract offer has been made, because his current deal still has two-and-a-half years to run. . . . . . #edenhazard #cfc4life #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #premierleague #pl #cfrealmadrid #rmfc #realmadridfamily #realmadridfarsi #realmadridindia #realmadridcf (at Stamford Bridge)

Real Madrid have made contact with Chelsea’s Eden Hazard after manager Zinedine Zidane was given permission to make a move for the Belgian international. Zidane is said to be an admirer of the 26-year-old and may look to bring him in after a slow start to the season, the Daily Mail says. . . . . . #edenhazard #cfc4life #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #premierleague #pl #cfrealmadrid #rmfc #realmadridfamily #realmadridfarsi #realmadridindia #realmadridcf (at Stamford Bridge)

Cesc Fabregas admits Chelsea and the other Premier League title challengers are now hoping for Manchester City to suffer a slip as Pep Guardiola’s side continue to dominate. City are the odds-on favourites to win the trophy having stormed out of the blocks this season, leaving the likes of neighbours Manchester United and reigning champions Chelsea trailing in their wake. . . . . . #cescfabregas #cfc4life #fabregas4 #cescfabregas4 #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #cescf4bregas #premierleague #pl (at Stamford Bridge)

Antonio Conte believes Eden Hazard is thriving playing right up front for Chelsea. The Belgium playmaker was outstanding playing alongside striker Alvaro Morata in the champions’ 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Saturday. The hosts struggled to contain the 26-year-old, who often dropped into midfield to gain possession, and manager Conte feels his flexibility is bringing a new dimension to the side. . . . . . #edenhazard #cfc4life #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #premierleague #pl #hazardeden #hazardeden_10 #edenhazard10 (at Stamford Bridge)

With Michael Emenalo announcing his resignation as technical director at Chelsea, former Blues stalwart Frank Lampard is thought to be among those who will be considered for the position, according to the Daily Express. Emenalo had been key in spotting transfer targets and a worthy successor is now likely to be top of the agenda for the club’s bosses. . . . . . #franklampard #lampard #michaelemenalo #cfc4life #chelseafc #cfcfamily #cfcfans #cfcfans4ever #premierleague #pl (at Stamford Bridge)
