False 9, anyone!? Matt Davies-Adams, Jessy Parker Humphreys and Liam Twomey are back for your second weekly dose of Chelsea chat. It's back to the seaside we go for the second game in a row as we preview the Premier League trip to the Amex. Our conversation is led by the big news that Nicholas Jackson has been ruled out for "around six to eight weeks" with a hamstring injury. Enzo Maresca says they will need to find 'different solutions' - but what are those solutions and how will Chelsea set up against Brighton and going forward?! We touch base with CFCW ahead of the visit of Everton in the WSL, having knocked them out of the FA Cup last weekend. Is the quadruple a serious possibility?! Plus - Sam Kerr has been found not guilty of causing racially aggravated harassment. And we bring you a quiz which features an inordinate amount of JFH chat... We'll be back on Monday to *hopefully* reflect on a happy Valentine's Day and weekend for all those of a Chelsea persuasion...

What does it all mean?!With Jessy in tow it would be rude not to check in with the latest news surrounding CFCW - still unbeaten after a scrappy 1-0 win at Aston Villa courtesy of a fortunate late own goal but with Keira Walsh already looking like she could be a key difference maker with the quadruple still on...We'll be back on Thursday to preview Saturday night's trip to the seaside to take on Brighton in the 4th round of the FA Cup!HOST: Matt Davies-AdamsWITH: Liam Twomey, Jessy Parker Humphreys and Simon JohnsonPRODUCER: Lucy Oliva Hosted on Acast.
