Chelsea recorded their worst-ever Premier League finish when they finished 12th last season. Just over six months later - and under a new manager - things have not got any better.
Mauricio Pochettino was expected to be the man to turn the Blues' fortunes around, and was backed heavily in the summer by owner Todd Boehly, but his team are still struggling to string positive results together, and they dropped to 12th after losing 2-0 to Everton on Sunday.
It was Chelsea's seventh defeat of the season, a dire return for a club that has spent £1bn over the last three transfer windows, but Pochettino still wants to bring new players through the door next month.
