The Blues do at least still have the Europa League to aim for and they are in contention for a top-four finish in the Premier League, even if they have slipped down to sixth place. Arsenal occupy the final Champions League qualification berth, though Chelsea are within three points of their London rivals and have a game in hand to play. In their last four league matches, Sarri’s side have won one and lost three, conceding 12 goals and scoring none across those three losses.The 6-0 thrashing away to Man City is still fresh in the memory, as are the 2-0 and 4-0 defeats to Arsenal and Bournemouth respectively.Chelsea’s failure to score in three of their last four Premier League games will be a massive concern for Sarri, and they were also unable to find a way through in the cup matches against the Manchester duo. Another blank on Wednesday and Roman Abramovich may well decide that enough is enough.
