How important is a good pre-season?

With pre-season upon us, we discuss why doing well in the US might tell us more about the season than you might think with memories (good and bad) of years gone by.

We take a look (through our fingers) at Chelsea’s new home kit and celebrate the rise of a new Chelsea cult hero - Estrella-drinking, European Champion - Marc Cucurella.

Voicenotes on all that and more:

• 0.59 - Pre-season premonitions
• 13.44 - What have Nike done now
• 19.07 - The cult of Cucurella
• 28.04 - Enzo Fernandez
• 30.43 - Best Chelsea debutant
