Straight Outta Cobham: The Athletic FC's Chelsea show

• Have Chelsea blown their chances of Champions League football?

  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.

• George & Acheampong shine in Poland - so is Sunday an audition for Liam Delap?

  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.

• Away woes continue after drab goalless draw at Brentford

  What much better things could we have been doing with those two hours of our lives? Matt Davies-Adams, Luke Bosher and Liam Twomey have the unfortunate task of talking about the 0-0 draw at Brentford on Sunday. There was eyebrow raising team selection, an abundance of long kicks, the ongoing Nkunku problem and a sense of one steps forward, two steps back for Enzo Maresca. Then, we look ahead to Thursday's trip to Poland to take on Legia Warszawa in the first leg of their Europa Conference League quarterfinal first leg. Who's making the starting XI?! We'll be back on Friday to find out how the Blues got on, plus look ahead to the visit of Ipswich in the Premier League AND CFCW's FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool.

• Spurs battered 1-0 - can Chelsea's away fortunes change at Brentford?

  Poor old Ange... Matt Davies-Adams has got The Athletic's Simon Johnson and Luke Bosher in tow to look back on the fiery and thoroughly deserved 1-0 victory over Tottenham at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night. We talk the triumphant return of Nicholas Jackson, Caicedo's extraordinary engine and the much-improved showing from the Blues, buoyed on by a raucous crowd. Now - can they translate that home form to Sunday's away day at Brentford?! Enzo Maresca's side are hoping to avoid suffering five straight Premier League defeats on the road when they face the Bees. We'll be back on Monday to reflect on the short trip to the Gtech and preview Thursday's Conference League quarterfinal first leg in Poland!

• An axed day off, stadiums, Spurs - and John Terry on *that* historic 04-05 defence

  Matt Davies-Adams is joined by Liam Twomey and Luke Bosher to get back up to speed with all things Chelsea Football Club after the international break. We begin with a round up of the latest Blues news since we've been off - including more stadium uncertainty, a new wonderkid and a revoked day off... We've got a special guest, as club legend John Terry speaks to Simon Johnson to commemorate the 20th anniversary of THAT remarkable defence that conceded just 15 goals in 38 Premier League games in their record-breaking first title charge under Jose Mourinho in 2004-2005. Then, Jessy Parker Humphreys does their best to round up a pretty crazy fortnight in the world of CFCW as they booked their place in the semi-finals of the Champions League in dramatic circumstances. On Thursday it's all eyes on the Premier League as Spurs make the short trip across town to Stamford Bridge. We preview that game and it's importance for Enzo Maresca as the run-in to the end of the season begins in earnest. We'll be back on Friday to run the rule over the visit of Tottenham and look ahead to the trip to Brentford!
