Summary
It's nearly here...
Matt Davies-Adams has got The Athletic's Liam Twomey and Luke Bosher alongside him as the final preparations for the 2024-25 Premier League season begin.
We start with the latest transfer news - including the surprise signing of Pedro Neto and potential shock return of João Félix - which could have a big knock on effect for Conor Gallagher's departure...
There are brief reflections from Sunday's 1-1 draw against Inter Milan in the final pre-season fixture of the summer.
Then - we've got the unenviable task of trying to audit the entire extraordinarily large squad.
Plus - your questions and thoughts as Enzo Maresca's side prepare to get their campaign underway!
We'll be back on Thursday with comprehensive build-up to Sunday's Premier League opener against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.
HOST: Matt Davies-Adams
WITH: Liam Twomey & Luke Bosher
PRODUCER: Lucy Oliva
