In this special episode of the RFN Podcast, your usual host James Nickels sat down with Rob Pratley and Kirill Belskiy of SW6Daily to preview Krasnodar v Chelsea from the away sides' perspective. We discussed the Blues' European hopes for the season, Frank Lampard's first year and a bit as boss before deep-diving into the game and Roman Abramovich's continued ownership of the London side.
