Chelsea's women's side beat Manchester United 5-0 on the road, while the men's team prepare to face Brentford on Friday in a busy week of fixtures across all squads.
Sonia Bompastor's Chelsea FC Women scored five without reply in Manchester, with goals from Sjoeke Nusken, Keira Walsh, Lauren James, Ellie Carpenter and Lucy Bronze.
On the men's side, manager Xabi Alonso holds a press conference on Thursday to preview Friday's trip to Brentford, where kick-off at the Gtech Community Stadium is set for 8pm. The match is broadcast live on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.
Chelsea go into that fixture looking to bounce back after a 2-2 draw with Hull last weekend.
The Academy side, Cobham Next Gen, are also active this week. They travel to Adams Park on Tuesday evening to face Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL Trophy, following a penalty shoot-out victory over Bristol Rovers in their opening group fixture. Kick-off in Buckinghamshire is at 7pm, with the match available on Sky Sports+ for UK viewers.
On Saturday, Chelsea Under-18s host Bournemouth in the Under-18 Premier League at 11am, aiming to build on a 5-0 win over Brighton the previous week. At 12.45pm, Chelsea Women take on Birmingham City in the Barclays Women's Super League at Stamford Bridge, with tickets still available.
