    Chelsea UCL's chances boosted by Liverpool win as Palmer's magic returns
    May 5 2025
    Where would Chelsea be in the table if Romeo Lavia had been fit all season?! Matt Davies-Adams has The Athletic's Simon Johnson and Liam Twomey alongside him to look back on the huge 3-1 victory over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. We talk Cole Palmer's masterful performance, Romeo Lavia's pivotal role which as been sorely missed too often in this campaign - and the tireless work of Moises Caicedo as the three points helped Enzo Maresca's side move a step closer to Champions League football next season. We celebrate the winners at the end of season awards, look ahead to Thursday night's second leg against Djurgården which the Blues take a commanding lead into - and shoutout CFCW who got a guard of honour AND a win at Tottenham for good measure. We'll be back on Friday to hope that the men have put in a better performance than the last Conference League return leg... and look ahead to another massive game with the trip to Brentford on the horizon!

    Is a top five finish back on the cards after crucial Everton win?

    Does your Djurgården need watering? Matt Davies-Adams is joined by Simon Johnson and Luke Bosher for your Monday dose of Chelsea chat. We begin with a look back on the 1-0 victory over Everton on Saturday - with Jackson back amongst the goals, Lavia back in the starting line up - and Chelsea looking like they're back in with a realistic chance of a top five finish. Then, it's all eyes on the Conference League semi-final first leg, with the Blues on their way out to Djurgården. And finally, there was disappointment at Stamford Bridge as CFCW suffered another battering at the hands of a relentless Barcelona, beaten 4-1 on the day and 8-2 (yikes) on aggregate. The Athletic's Megan Feringa helps us look ahead to what this means for the rest of the season for Sonia Bompastor's side and how they recover. We'll be back on Friday to reflect on the trip to Sweden and look ahead to the visit of champions Liverpool to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.

On Sunday Chelsea Women try and pull off the unthinkable and overturn a three-goal deficit against Barcelona in their Champions League semi-final second leg.

    George & Neto inspire late comeback to resurrect top five hopes

    Just returning the favour after Boxing Day... Matt Davies-Adams is joined by Liam Twomey and Luke Bosher to reflect on the unlikely Easter Sunday comeback which saw Chelsea score two late goals to beat Fulham 2-1 at Craven Cottage. We talk half-time tweaks, the outpouring of emotion at full-time from the players and fans - and what this means for the chances of Champions League football next season. Not such good news for CFCW though - who were humbled in a 4-1 defeat at a dominant and ruthless Barcelona in their Champions League semi-final first leg encounter. Plenty of work for Sonia Bompastor's side to do if they're to keep their quadruple hopes alive when they face off again at Stamford Bridge next Sunday. We'll be back on Thursday to look ahead to that game and Saturday's early kick-off against Everton in the Premier League.

    Has a team ever reached a European semi-final but been booed off the pitch? Asking for a friend... Matt Davies-Adams, Luke Bosher and Dom Fifield unite BEFORE the Legia game to look ahead to Sunday's visit to Fulham in the Premier League. But don't worry - thanks to the magic of editing we also hear from Simon Johnson in the press box after the hugely demoralising 2-1 defeat by Legia Warsaw in the Conference League which threw up more questions than answers. We look ahead to the small matter of a Champions League semi-final first leg over in Barcelona for CFCW, talk agents fees and veteran strikers and hear from Pat Harding - son of Matthew - who's following in his father's footsteps after becoming chairman of Hassocks FC.

    What is it about Ipswich?! Matt Davies-Adams has got Luke Bosher and Simon Johnson alongside him to mull over the pretty disastrous 2-2 draw with the Tractor Boys at Stamford Bridge. We touch on the fractious relationship between Enzo Maresca and the fans after his pointed post-match comments, the lack of leadership amongst the squad and the costliness of the back-to-back draws with a pretty treacherous run-in to come. Then it's onto Thursday's visit of Legia in the Conference League quarter-final second leg. The Blues take a 3-0 advantage into the tie... surely they can't mess that up!? Plus, there was late drama for CFCW as Aggie Beever-Jones scored a 94th minute winner as Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-1 to book their place in the FA Cup final! We'll be back on Friday to round up the Thursday night's European escapades and look ahead to the tricky trip just down the road to take on Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday.

    Tyrique George... you love to see it! Matt Davies-Adams has got Jessy Parker Humphreys and Luke Bosher with him to give their verdict as Chelsea cruised to a 3-0 victory over Legia Warszawa over in Poland on Thursday night. We heap praise on academy graduates George and Acheampong for seizing their opportunities - but also ponder why it was such a painfully slow start to the game and whether Enzo Maresca should be more critical of the first half woes which continues to be a plague this side. We've got a look ahead to Sunday's visit of an Ipswich Town side who are on the brink of relegation - but hoping to do the league double over Chelsea! Plus, is this an audition for Liam Delap at Stamford Bridge? We touch base with the women's team - back in action after the international break and with the small matter of an FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool to look ahead to as Sonia Bompastor's side enter a defining month of action. And of course... a quiz! We'll be back on Monday to reflect on the visit of the Tractor Boys and look ahead to the second leg of the Conference League quarter-final tie against Legia.
