Summary
It's awards season after all...
Matt Davies-Adams has got Simon Johnson and Sam Parkin alongside him to talk all things Chelsea as we prepare for the return to action for Thomas Tuchel's side.
We start at Kingsmeadow though, where Emma Hayes' women maintained their challenge for a third successive Continental Cup title with a 3-1 win over Manchester United to book their spot in March's final.
Then attention turns to the men's FA Cup - with Chelsea welcoming League One Plymouth Argyle to Stamford Bridge on Saturday. We look ahead to that game - with a special word on the return of Jordan Houghton - then send Simon on his travels as he prepares to head to Abu Dhabi to follow the Blues' fortunes in the FIFA Club World Cup.
And as is tradition - the Thursday quiz goes all FA Cup fourth round on us...
