Chris Sutton has urged Chelsea to give Mauricio Pochettino time to turn their fortunes around after a disappointing start to the season.
Pochettino arrived at the club this summer following their dire 2022-23 campaign that saw Chelsea finish down in 12th place.
He has been unable to inspire an upturn in form thus far, with the Blues losing three of their first six games, leaving them 14th in the table.
They were beaten again at home to Aston Villa on Sunday, failing to score for the 13th time in a league game in 2023, and some fans took to social media afterwards to label the team's current predicament 'unacceptable'.
