The alarming numbers predicting a rocky road ahead for Chelsea
By Karan Saini
Amidst these underwhelming team performances, one player, Enzo Fernández, has shone as a beacon of individual excellence. The Argentine midfielder has a Premier League record of 24 appearances, including four wins, 12 losses, and eight draws, emblematic of the Blues‘ overall inconsistency. Notably, the only teams Chelsea has managed to defeat since his arrival are Leeds United, Leicester City, Bournemouth, and Luton Town, underscoring the team’s erratic form.
Further compounding the woes is a startling statistic that reveals the club’s struggles since the departure of Thomas Tuchel. Over 38 Premier League games, equivalent to a full year of league fixtures, Chelsea has managed to amass just 39 points out of a possible 114. These numbers paint a bleak picture of the club’s form over the past year, equating to the performance of a team flirting with relegation.

To add an ironic twist to their struggles, since the debut of Erling Haaland, the prolific striker has scored more Premier League goals (44) than Chelsea as a whole (43). Before Mauricio Pochettino’s men embark on their challenging run of fixtures, they will have the opportunity to face teams in the lower half of the table, with clashes against Fulham and Burnley. Pochettino will undoubtedly hope that these encounters offer a chance for his team to rediscover their form ahead of the impending high-stakes battles.
