Summary
Well, we enjoyed the last 45 minutes at least...
Matt Davies-Adams has got Dom Fifield and Liam Twomey alongside him to reflect on the 4-0 victory over Preston North End in the third round of the FA Cup. We round up the game of two halves, ask whether Sterling is back in Poch's good books after that stunning free kick - and give some love to Alfie Gilchrist and the other Cobham kids who got the chance to shine.
The cup football just keeps on coming - with a trip to Teeside to preview ahead of Tuesday's League Cup semi-final first leg at Middlesbrough...
Plus, we've got reaction to the devastating news that CFCW's talismanic striker Sam Kerr has picked up a season-ending ACL injury. Jessy Parker Humphrey's sends in their verdict of what this means for the title race and the rest of the campaign going forward.
We'll be back on Thursday to round up events from the first leg, look ahead to the visit of Fulham to Stamford Bridge - and preview the return of the WSL.
Produced by Lucy Oliva.
