Summary
Matt Davies-Adams has got The Athletic's Chelsea posse - Liam Twomey, Simon Johnson and Dom Fifield in tow to discuss progress to the Champions League semi-finals for Thomas Tuchel's side.
Before the Blues worry about their next European showdown they've got the small matter of an FA Cup semi-final against a formidable Manchester City side to worry about. We preview the game - and quickly move on from *that* Kepa/ Sarri saga the last time these two met at Wembley back in 2019.
As always, there's time for your questions, a quick word on the victory at Selhurst Park - and a closer look at what's going on elsewhere at Chelsea Football Club.
