Summary
The luck of future champions?
Matt Davies-Adams has got Simon Johnson and Sam Parkin along for the ride to reflect on the very lucky three points picked up at Vicarage Road against Watford in the 2-1 win - looking closely at the narrative surrounding Andreas Christensen's future and the growing list injury concerns for Thomas Tuchel.

Chelsea legend and TEN-TIME FA Cup winner Katie Chapman is with us to preview Sunday's enticing final at Wembley against fierce rivals Arsenal.
