Summary
11 changes too many...
Matt Davies-Adams has got Luke Bosher and Liam Twomey with him to look back on the disappointing 2-0 cup exit at the hands of Newcastle on Wednesday night. We ponder the wisdom of the decision to field an entirely changed XI - and whether we should be worried about the disparity in quality between the 'A' and 'B' teams.
Now to see whether the changes were worth it - as Chelsea prepare for a trip to face Ruud van Nistelrooy's Manchester United. The Athletic's Carl Anka is on hand to help us gauge the mood around Old Trafford following the departure of Erik ten Hag as Enzo Maresca's side look to end a torrid run of form which has seen them fail to win on the road at United since 2013!!
There's a round up of the Blues news elsewhere - with CFCW back in action after the international break with a trip to Everton on Sunday night.
And of course - we finish with a quiz with a Manchester United flavour...
We'll be back on Monday to reflect on events at Old Trafford and preview the midweek visit of Armenian outfit Noah in the Conference League.
HOST: Matt Davies-Adams
WITH: Liam Twomey, Luke Bosher & Carl Anka
