To quote Noddy Holder: "IT'S CHRISTMAAAAAAS!" - or at least it is as far as Chelsea are concerned.

There are less than days until Christmas at the time of writing according to one of the many countdown clocks to be found on the internet. To many, that's quite a long time.

After all, Bonfire Night was less than a week ago and December is still not upon us.

That hasn't stopped the relentless onslaught of TV adverts though. Nor has it stopped the Christmas lights which are being switched on up and down the country.

Premier League clubs rarely miss a trick when it comes to merchandising and Chelsea are, of course, no different.

Only six of the division's 20 sides have yet to launch a dedicated Christmas section on their website stores - Arsenal, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Newcastle, Swansea and Watford.

Two of those are still selling Christmas jumpers though - Crystal Palace and Newcastle.

The festive favourite is a must these days at any Christmas party and the average club branded one will cost you £29 this year, more than the £25.50 the Blues are charging for their Christmas jumpers (that's a sale price though).

Norwich have the most expensive at £35 while Sunderland just edge the cheapest at £24.99.

A smorgasbord of other club themed goodies are just a couple of clicks away for your football-mad loved ones this Christmas. They include, but are no means limited to the following items.

A special Chelsea edition of Guess Who will set you back £20 ("Is it Papy Djilobodji?"). Blues wrapping paper costs £4, while Christmas t-shirts are on sale at £12.75 each, again while on sale.

Elsewhere in the Premier League, Aston Villa sell a Christmas mug for £8 while Everton have special Christmas socks for £12 a pair. West Brom's Christmas collection includes a winter onesie (£34.99) and a 3D Santa sack (£9.99).

A Liverpool branded stocking will set you back £7 and an LFC tinsel tree £10.

You can treat the Manchester City fan in your life to an eight inch snowman (£10) or even a snowman ornament (£6), while a three pack of Manchester United baubles costs £6.
