Chelsea FanCast Preview Show #980
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Tony Glover, and Liam Twomey from The Athletic to round up the Chelsea news and look ahead to Saturday's match against Aston Villa.
In part one we look at Chelsea's financial results for 2021-22, announcing a £121 million loss and discuss what the implications for FFP might be. We also reflect on the noise around whether or not the new stadium might be located away from Stamford Bridge to nearby Earls Court. We wrap up part one by discussing 'Potter's Presser'!
In part two we welcome back Justin Hawthorne from Up The Villa Podcast for our first 'Opposition View' for a while. Justin discusses how things have improved under Emery? Team selection? Players to watch? Ollie Watkins on fire and Villa's away form being rejuvenated. Mind you Villa have a terrible record v Chelsea. But this season they could finish above Chelsea for the 1st time since 95/96!! Justin finishes by giving us his prediction for the game.
In part three we wrap up the show with our preview of the Villa game. Chidge gives his team selection and asks will there be an International hangover? Will Potter have one eye on Liverpool on Tuesday? Will Potter tinker with both team selection and substitutes? And will Villa attempt to hit us on the break at speed and stay tight at the back. We end the show with our predictions.
