Chelsea 2-1 West Ham: Felix farce, AWOL ...

John Obi Mikel and Chris McHardy
About this episode

John Obi Mikel and Chris McHardy review Chelsea’s 2-1 win over West Ham - a game that through up more questions than answers. Where is the Jadon Sancho of earlier this season, and are the Blues now too reliant on Cole Palmer? Mikel also discusses his reunion with John Terry and gives his verdict on the transfer deadline day deals at the Bridge, including Joao Felix’s departure for AC Milan that has Mikel scratching his head. And what of Marcus Rashford’s much talked about move to Aston Villa. Will he rediscover his scoring boots under Unai Emery?
