Summary
Nothing says magic of the FA Cup like a trip to the seaside at 8pm on a Saturday night...
Matt Davies-Adams has got Simon Johnson and Luke Bosher alongside him to look ahead to the first of two visits to take on Brighton in the space of less than a week.
We're joined by The Athletic's football tactics writer - and Brighton fan - Liam Tharme to get an insight into the Seagulls AND a word on some of the standout tactical intricacies he's noticed from Chelsea so far this season.
We give some final reflections now that transfer window is *finally* closed - including what it means for potential game time for Christopher Nkunku now that speculation about his future is on hold - and a sure improvement in Enzo Maresca's mood after a month of distraction.
There's all the Blues news elsewhere, and a quiz!
We'll be back on Monday to reflect on events at The Amex and find out how CFCW fare against Everton in the 5th round of the Women's FA Cup.
HOST: Matt Davies-Adams
WITH: Luke Bosher, Simon Johnson and Liam Tharme
PRODUCER: Lucy Oliva
