Ben Haines, Ellen White and Jen Beattie review Chelsea's win in the League Cup final, and assess where this leaves them ahead of their next three matches against Manchester City between now and next Thursday.

There's also an interview with Chelsea's Sonia Bompastor on why results are more important than performances at this stage of the season.

They also look at the complaints about the pitch during Saturday's final at Pride Park, and ask whether the League Cup final should move to Wembley.

And will Birmingham City be promoted to the WSL? Amy Merricks, head coach of the Championship leaders, joins the pod.
