Antonio Conte's future at Stamford Bridge, already in focus, will surely hit breaking point if the Blues lose to the current worst side in the league
Chelsea's poor form since the turn of the year has the Stamford Bridge club looking like a team in crisis, with positive results required immediately if the Blues are to protect their position in the top four.
Antonio Conte's side have lost their previous two games by three-goal margins, to Bournemouth and Watford, respectively, leading to speculation over the Italian manager's future.
Conte himself insists that he will continue to see out his contract and use the squad he has at his disposal to continue to fight for FA Cup and Champions League glory, as well as seal a top-four Premier League finish.
