Summary
This could all get very messy...
Matt Davies-Adams is joined by Sam Parkin and Dom Fifield to look back on the goalless draw at Wolves - which wouldn't have even happened if Chelsea had had their way.
We wrap up the latest fallout in terms of Covid-19 and the potential postponement of upcoming fixtures.
There's a brief look ahead to Wednesday's scheduled Carabao Cup quarter-final with Brentford - who themselves have seen their squad decimated by positive coronavirus tests.
