We asked for your questions and delivered suitably depressing answers...

Matt Davies-Adams has got two of The Athletic's finest - Simon Johnson and Liam Twomey - alongside him for your second dose of Chelsea chatter.

With no midweek game to look back on we open the mailbag - including the future of Pochettino, the root of the cause of the problems - and whether the tactical plan is working.

Then we preview Monday night's visit of Newcastle to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

There's reflections on the news that Sam Kerr has been charged with the alleged racially aggravated harassment of a police officer - and a look ahead to their involvement in the League and FA Cup.

And of course - an obligatory quiz!

We'll be back at the later time of Tuesday to reflect on the match against the Magpies - and hopefully news of progress in both cups for CFCW!
