Straight Outta Cobham: The Athletic FC's Chelsea show

• Is a top five finish back on the cards after crucial Everton win?

  Does your Djurgården need watering? Matt Davies-Adams is joined by Simon Johnson and Luke Bosher for your Monday dose of Chelsea chat. We begin with a look back on the 1-0 victory over Everton on Saturday - with Jackson back amongst the goals, Lavia back in the starting line up - and Chelsea looking like they're back in with a realistic chance of a top five finish. Then, it's all eyes on the Conference League semi-final first leg, with the Blues on their way out to Djurgården. And finally, there was disappointment at Stamford Bridge as CFCW suffered another battering at the hands of a relentless Barcelona, beaten 4-1 on the day and 8-2 (yikes) on aggregate. The Athletic's Megan Feringa helps us look ahead to what this means for the rest of the season for Sonia Bompastor's side and how they recover. We'll be back on Friday to reflect on the trip to Sweden and look ahead to the visit of champions Liverpool to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.

• A big Toffees test, searching for a UWCL miracle and good vibes in the Shed End

  Now is not the time to get stuck in a spot of bother... Matt Davies-Adams has got The Athletic's Chelsea experts Simon Johnson and Liam Twomey alongside him to look ahead to Saturday's visit of the Toffees at Stamford Bridge. On Sunday Chelsea Women try and pull off the unthinkable and overturn a three-goal deficit against Barcelona in their Champions League semi-final second leg. Megan Feringa gives us her take on their chances of turning the tie on its head. Plus, what's being done to create a fiercer and more lively atmosphere at Stamford Bridge? Richard and Alex from We Are The Shed join us to explain the steps being put in place to try and make the Bridge a fortress and bring more colour and noise to the Shed End. We'll be back on Monday to look back on the early kick-off against Everton, hope for a CFCW miracle against Barca and look ahead to Thursday's trip to Djurgården in the Conference League.!

• George & Neto inspire late comeback to resurrect top five hopes

  Just returning the favour after Boxing Day... Matt Davies-Adams is joined by Liam Twomey and Luke Bosher to reflect on the unlikely Easter Sunday comeback which saw Chelsea score two late goals to beat Fulham 2-1 at Craven Cottage. We talk half-time tweaks, the outpouring of emotion at full-time from the players and fans - and what this means for the chances of Champions League football next season. Not such good news for CFCW though - who were humbled in a 4-1 defeat at a dominant and ruthless Barcelona in their Champions League semi-final first leg encounter. Plenty of work for Sonia Bompastor's side to do if they're to keep their quadruple hopes alive when they face off again at Stamford Bridge next Sunday. We'll be back on Thursday to look ahead to that game and Saturday's early kick-off against Everton in the Premier League.

• Chelsea hit 'rock bottom' but progress despite woeful Legia defeat

  Has a team ever reached a European semi-final but been booed off the pitch? Asking for a friend... Matt Davies-Adams, Luke Bosher and Dom Fifield unite BEFORE the Legia game to look ahead to Sunday's visit to Fulham in the Premier League. But don't worry - thanks to the magic of editing we also hear from Simon Johnson in the press box after the hugely demoralising 2-1 defeat by Legia Warsaw in the Conference League which threw up more questions than answers. We look ahead to the small matter of a Champions League semi-final first leg over in Barcelona for CFCW, talk agents fees and veteran strikers and hear from Pat Harding - son of Matthew - who's following in his father's footsteps after becoming chairman of Hassocks FC.

• 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.
