About this episode

The episode discusses Chelsea's upcoming match against Liverpool, player availability, and changes to the club's ticketing policy.

News just in... unfortunately we can't forfeit this game... Matt Davies-Adams is once again joined by two of The Athletic's finest - Simon Johnson and Liam Twomey - for a look ahead to the weekend trip to Merseyside to take on Liverpool. Will the players actually bother to try and put in some kind of performance on Saturday? What players are even available? And do they need to string a couple of results together to have any hope going into the FA Cup final? Plus - we discuss the announcement of changes to the club's ticketing policy next season - and what the ramifications could be. Oh, and Super Frank! He's been speaking to The Athletic's Tom Burrows after guiding Coventry City back to the Premier League. We'll be back on Monday with a look back on events at Anfield - and see whether Chelsea Women have managed to book their place in an FA Cup final.
