Summary
Oh Ozdoev...
Liam Twomey and Sam Parkin are alongside Matt Davies-Adams to reflect on the 3-3 draw in Zenit which saw Chelsea pipped to the post for top spot in Group H.
BBC Radio Leeds' Adam Pope joins us for a closer look at Saturday's opponents in the Premier League as Marcelo Bielsa's men come to town.
There's a round up of the other Blues news - including a pitch invader feeling the wrath of Sam Kerr in their goalless draw with Juventus in the Champions League - and of course, the obligatory Thursday quiz.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
