Summary
Where would Chelsea be in the table if Romeo Lavia had been fit all season?!
Matt Davies-Adams has The Athletic's Simon Johnson and Liam Twomey alongside him to look back on the huge 3-1 victory over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
We talk Cole Palmer's masterful performance, Romeo Lavia's pivotal role which as been sorely missed too often in this campaign - and the tireless work of Moises Caicedo as the three points helped Enzo Maresca's side move a step closer to Champions League football next season.
We celebrate the winners at the end of season awards, look ahead to Thursday night's second leg against Djurgården which the Blues take a commanding lead into - and shoutout CFCW who got a guard of honour AND a win at Tottenham for good measure.
We'll be back on Friday to hope that the men have put in a better performance than the last Conference League return leg... and look ahead to another massive game with the trip to Brentford on the horizon!
HOST: Matt Davies-Adams
WITH: Simon Johnson and Liam Twomey
