Summary
No 'cupsets' welcome round here...
The Athletic's Simon Johnson and Luke Bosher are alongside Matt Davies-Adams to preview Saturday's FA Cup third round tie with lowly League Two outfit Morecambe at Stamford Bridge.
We look ahead to that game, ponder team selection and the wider importance of the competition to the club.
As transfer rumours continue to swirl we take a look at some of latest news to come out - including a potential approach for Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo, interest in Cobham graduate Marc Guehi - and a Bundesliga move for Carney Chukwuemeka?
Plus, can our quizzers regain some dignity after last week's underwhelming start to 2025?!
We'll be back on Monday to look back on the FA Cup and look ahead to Tuesday's visit of Bournemouth in the Premier League.
HOST: Matt Davies-Adams
WITH: Luke Bosher and Simon Johnson
PRODUCER: Lucy Oliva
