Chelsea continues to be unbeaten at home in 2025, conceding only 1 goal in the new season, and its defense performance is eye-catching

Another clean sheet! In the third round of the Premier League, Chelsea defeated Fulham 2-0 at home, and the Blues continued to maintain an unbeaten record at home in the Premier League in 2025. Including this game, Chelsea remained unbeaten in 12 home games in the Premier League in 2025, with a record of 9 wins and 3 draws, scoring 22 goals and conceding 7 goals, of which 7 remained empty.

As the protagonist in the transfer market this summer, the Blues once again spent more than 200 million transfer fees, signing many attackers such as Pedro, Drapp, Estewan, and Gittens. In addition to stars such as Palmer, Neto, and Jacquesson, Chelsea's forward line is full of stars, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is too much choice. The team's forward line reserves have attracted the attention of the entire Premier League.

Just as the outside world is looking forward to Chelsea's offensive line, it is a devastating trend in the new season, but surprisingly, what really surprises Stamford Bridge fans is not these valuable new forward players, but the "low-key but hard" defense line.

The three-round performance at the start of the new season: one goal was not lost at two home games, and only one goal was conceded in three games. You should know that Chelsea only introduced two young players on the defense line this summer, Dutch teenager Harto and French teenager Saar. There were no sky-high signings and no headline bombing, but their integration speed with the original defense line was far beyond the outside world's expectations.

In the new season, when everyone's eyes focused on Drapp's running position, Pedro's impact, Palmer's omnipotence, and Estewan's breakthrough, Chelsea's defense quietly built a wall. Since 2025, he has conceded only 7 goals at home and 7 of them have scored zero goals. He has conceded only 1 goal in three rounds of the new season and has not lost one goal at home. He is tied with Liverpool and Aston Villa and has become one of the three teams unbeaten at home throughout the year in the Premier League. Behind these numbers is a tacit defensive system, Kukurelia's tireless running, Chaloba's rapid growth, Colewell's gradual maturity, Gustto is as stable as a rock on the right, and Kesedo's sweeping coverage in the midfield, they form the backbone of Chelsea's defense. Although the new player Harto is young, he shows maturity beyond his age, especially when there are no obvious loopholes in rotation and substitutes, which makes the coach more calm in lineup scheduling.

Football is not a game of pile-up strikers. Chelsea has proved with practical combat that a truly strong team must be based on a solid defense. Despite the wealth of talents in the frontcourt, Chelsea did not fall into the trap of "offense relies on personal abilities and defense loopholes". On the contrary, the team showed good integrity and discipline, quickly landed after pressing at a high position, and actively returned to defense in the midfield; the full-back assisted the central defender to fill up the position in time to reduce the risk of being beaten behind; goalkeeper Sanchez was finally in a stable state and made many key saves. Now the Blues' defense has finally become solid, and this Chelsea, which is versatile offense and defense, is worth looking forward to! ! !
