The Secret to Chelsea's Resurgence: It's not who you think it is.

Just Another Football Podcast

Chelsea's 5-0 win against West Ham has signaled that they have returned to the form we were used to seeing from them in the past, and while Cole Palmer has rightly made the headlines, there's another player that explains why they're suddenly good again.

Ali, Fergal, and George walk you through Chelsea's tactical tweaks and secret weapons that made things click lately, propelling the Blues to 7th and a real possibility of European football.

As we recorded, news actually broke that West Ham are set to part ways with David Moyes and acquire former Real Madrid and Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui, and we incidentally reflect on David Moyes' perception and legacy at London Stadium.

Ipswich are back in the Premier League thanks to back-to-back promotions, so we have a quick review of the promotion and (very funny) relegation stories from last weekend, and look ahead to the Playoffs.

Plus: The "Title Race", top team strikers' form, and a typically surprising George take on who wins the Golden Boot. And: a Championship Edition Short King of the Week!
