Summary
Back in the top four... for 24 hours at least!
Matt Davies-Adams, Liam Twomey and Luke Bosher are back to reflect on the much-needed 4-0 victory over a sorry Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.
We focus on some of the key positives from a game Enzo Maresca's side simply couldn't lose - before turning our attention to Cole Palmer's visible frustration as his struggles in front of goal continued. Plus, the positives of another impressive cameo from Tyrique George and Pedro Neto's suitability up top.
Liam was on hand in SW6 to witness the pre-match protests directed at the club's owners. We get a flavour of the assembled crowd and sentiment amongst the fans...
There may be no game to preview after the Blues' FA Cup exit - but that won't stop Matt from conducting a (very random) quiz!
So a CFC-free weekend, but we'll be back on Monday to reflect on how the women's team fared on their return to action in the WSL against Brighton AND a look ahead to Thursday night's trip to Denmark to face København.
HOST: Matt Davies-Adams
WITH: Luke Bosher and Liam Twomey
