Summary
Money, money, money...
The Athletic's Chelsea experts Liam Twomey and Dom Fifield are alongside Matt Davies-Adams to round up the latest Blues news and look ahead to Monday night's visit of Everton.
We start with a deep dive into Liam's latest piece looking at the finer details of the £1 billion outlay of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital over the last three transfer windows. Was anyone worth the money that was paid for them?!
There's an update on the acquisition of Stoll Mansions before taking a closer look at the Toffees showdown - which is *surely* must win if there's to be any hope of snatching a European spot.
Plus, CFCW are back in action after the international break - travelling to Manchester to take on United in the semi-final of the FA Cup.
We'll be back at the slightly later time of Tuesday to mop up all the fallout from the visit of Everton on Monday evening!
HOST: Matt Davies-Adams
WITH: Dom Fifield, Liam Twomey
PRODUCER: Lucy Oliva
