Chelsea

Europe: UEFA Europa League (Round of 32)

Chelsea face Reading off the back of a Capital One Cup semi-final exit at the hands of Swansea City, but boosted by the news that Ashley Cole has signed a new one-year deal to stay at the club. "I am pleased I will be starting my eighth season at Chelsea," he said. "I wanted to stay at Chelsea because we are always fighting and challenging for trophies. That desire and the will to want to win things have not gone. I have great memories here and I enjoy coming to training every day. The staff are amazing and I enjoy training with the lads. I have been able to fulfil nearly all my ambitions at Chelsea. I have won the Champions League, the League, I have won FA Cups here but of course you don't want to stop winning trophies and being at a big club, you are always fighting to win a trophy.
