Our Ecuadorian midfielder looks back on an unforgettable 2024 on and off the field, as he has established himself as one of the key players in Enzo Maresca’s Blues side and recently celebrated the birth of his daughter.

‘It’s been really good,’ he says. ‘I’ve enjoyed it a lot, on and off the pitch, with my family, with my team-mates. I’m doing well, and when you are doing well… I go home and I just smile, you know?

‘I’m so happy. It’s a good feeling when you are doing well in your job and at home also. But every game I try to show even more. That’s why I’m working harder.’

Caicedo also discusses the comparisons that have been made between him and a couple of legendary Blues midfielders from our recent past, the blockbuster goals he’s smashed in this year, and the growing connection between supporters and players during a positive first half of the season.

Elsewhere in the programme, Dan Petrescu took time out of his schedule as boss of CFR Cluj to look back on his unforgettable five years at Stamford Bridge, when sexy football was the order of the day and silverware became a regular fixture in west London. As he told the programme team: ‘There is only one club in London!’

That statement rings true with Ife Ogunjobi from Mercury Prize winners Ezra Collective, who details a lifetime of supporting the Blues and doing battle with his Arsenal-supporting bandmates in the We All Follow fan feature.

There’s also the second instalment of club historian Rick Glanvill’s 12 Days of Chelsea Christmas, looking back at some memorable festive fixtures from our history.

On top of that, you can hear the latest from head coach Enzo Maresca, captain Reece James and columns from the Women’s and Academy set-ups, plus stats and facts from club statistician Paul Dutton.
