Penalty APRs are significantly higher interest rates that issuers can apply to your credit card balance if you fail to make payments on time or violate the card’s terms.
You can avoid penalty APRs with responsible card practices, but there are ways to lessen your debt or return to your standard APR should you face a penalty APR. Some credit cards do not have penalty APRs, making them good options for those who are worried about triggering this higher interest rate.

Chelsea and misfiring strikers – it’s a match made in heaven and a tale as old as time. The great forwards we’ve had over the years – Didier Drogba, Diego Costa, Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink – have all been the exception rather than the rule. In between them there’s been a lot of dross. Just look at our post-Costa efforts. Most of them shone brightly for a brief spell, but none were ever able to fill his boots properly.

We’ve reached the halfway point of the Premier League season, and it’s been a typically fascinating and unpredictable one for Chelsea and their fans. There were a variety of opinions about how the Blues would get on this season, but even the most optimistic of pundits didn’t have them doing so well that they had the chance to top the table at Christmas. Sadly Enzo Maresca’s men blinked in the face of such lofty aspirations and drew at struggling Everton.

It’s the question we’ve all been asking on and off for a decade now – can anyone stop Manchester City’s dominance? They’ve got the most money, the best players, the top coach in the game, and the best suits upstairs running things. It’s been a well oiled winning machine – but there’s finally a sense that things could be coming apart a little. First up, there are the charges from the Premier League hanging over them.

Chelsea take on Tottenham today in a huge game which will go a long way towards defining how the season of each team will be perceived, with more than a third of the Premier League campaign played. Punters gambling in an online casino trying to figure out who will finish higher would have had the two sides at similar odds to make the top 4 this season, but the sides have already diverged significantly since those preseason predictions were made.

On October 1, 2023, Chelsea were in dire straits. They were sitting in 14th in the Premier League through six matchweeks, and they’d scored just five goals. It was arguably one of their darkest moments since the pre-Abramovich era. However, it would not last long, as exactly one month earlier, they’d signed a promising but untested attacker from Manchester City named Cole Palmer for just 40 million pounds.

Christmas is just around the corner, and some smart shoppers will be looking at FC25 accounts for sale already, but what Chelsea fans will really want in their stocking are some good results from their football team. The Blues have a poor record over the last 10 years when it comes to this time of year. In fact every time we’ve managed to avoid struggling through late November and December, we’ve usually ended up winning the title, or coming close to it.

There’s a concept in betting where you exclude heavy favourites from a wager to make things more exciting. So in the case of the Premier League this year, you might have a “title winner without Man City” bet, or a “top scorer without Erling Haaland bet.”In La Liga you might get a “league winner without Real Madrid and Barcelona” bet. You get the idea. In the case of a Chelsea bet this year, there’s one race that feels it’s already decided, barring a sickening injury.

In the modern day – especially when it comes to the Premier League, football tickets can be to come by, and are often crazy expensive, unless you know where to get them. That will be especially true for Chelsea fans over the next month, given the teams on the agenda for Enzo Maresca’s up and coming Blues side. After a shock to the system with Manchester City coming to town on the opening weekend, Maresca has had a nice soft start in terms of fixtures, and he’s made the most of it.

The challenge of joining a club that already boasts a galaxy of stars in its squad is the battle for game time. After six rounds of Premier League action in 2024/25, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – a summer capture from Leicester City – has made just three substitute appearances for a combined tally of 44 minutes. But the midfielder’s starring role against Gent in the Europa Conference League confirms that he’s ready to step into the chaos of the Premier League when Enzo Maresca comes calling.
