He was born in 2004...

Fierce quizzing rivals Dom Fifield and Sam Parkin are alongside Matt Davies-Adams to reflect on Chelsea's departure from the League Cup after the 2-0 defeat at Manchester City. But it's not all doom and gloom - as a Simon Johnson voice note live from the Etihad at the final whistle points out - with 18-year-old Lewis Hall playing a starring role and a generally improved performance from the losses to Brighton and Arsenal.

The tough assignments continue with a trip to St. James' Park to take on a Newcastle United side flying high under Eddie Howe.

There's a round up of the other Blues news elsewhere including an impressive win for the development squad, World Cup heartache for Reece James - and a UCL showdown with Dortmund to look forward to.

And of course, Dom and Sam go head-to-head in a grudge match...

We'll be back on Monday to round up the final game ahead of the extended international break - will the full cast of SOC along to help us round off a tumultuous 2022.
