Summary
Anything but a win...and it's crisis talks already?
The Athletic's Chelsea experts Dom Fifield and Liam Twomey are alongside Matt Davies-Adams to chew over the latest Blues news.
Things get *a little bit heated* as we go through yet another transfer round up - including why Lewis Hall has been allowed to leave, why the can't shift Hudson-Odoi or Lukaku, and why they seem intent on spending more and more and more money.
We've got bonus content - with a chance to hear a sneak peak of a certain Mauricio Pochettino in conversation with Alan Shearer! You can read the full interview on The Athletic from Friday.
Then we look ahead to the visit of Luton Town on Friday night - before finishing things off with the first Fifield v Twomey quiz of the new season...
We'll be back on Monday to reflect on events under the lights at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea have hopefully (surely?!) picked up their first three points of the season.
Produced by Lucy Oliva.
