Summary
Be more PSG, Chelsea...
Matt Davies-Adams has got two of The Athletic's finest, Luke Bosher and Simon Johnson alongside him for your second weekly dose of Blues chat.
We begin with a look at the latest transfer news - including the record-breaking arrival of USA defender Naomi Girma. We pushed the emergency voice note klaxon so Jessy Parker Humphreys could tell us all about the 24-year-old and what she'll bring to the club. On the men's side - we console Luke over news that Renato Veiga is set to spend the rest of the campaign and Juventus, and check in on the rumours of Garnacho coming in...
Then, it's all eyes on Manchester City on Saturday evening, with Enzo Marseca's side travelling to face a City side two points behind them in the table and reeling from their 4-2 defeat by PSG in the Champions League. We look ahead to that game and ponder the midfield options and approach to taking on the uncharacteristically poor Citizens.
Plus, can Simon build upon his remarkable performance in last week's quiz and get another big win?
We'll be back on Monday to reflect on the the trip to Manchester City, that huge WSL clash with Arsenal coming to Stamford Bridge - and bring you up to speed with all the other Blues news!
