Chelsea is in a goal scoring rut. All the tools are there, the Blues just cannot keep straight how to use them properly in a game.

Beneath all the “transfer ban”, “loss of Eden Hazard” and sentimentalism, though, lie a slew of potential problems clouding Chelsea's season.

No one player or moment brought about Chelsea's atrocious night against Arsenal. Many contribute to a 2-2 loss after 60 minutes with a man advantage.
George Perry|
The Chelsea fan base turned on Maurizio Sarri for his favouritism towards Jorginho. The Frank Lampard - Mason Mount dynamic is slowly adopting this theme.

If an aging, formerly/current world class striker is on the market, one can bet money Chelsea will be interested. It is a non stop march towards yesteryear.

Tuesday seems like a waste of a good London Derby, but a win is a win, and Chelsea have reason to deliver a punishing win over Arsenal.

Here are four things to look for as Chelsea try to embed themselves in the top four while denying Arsenal the top half of the Premier League table.

Mikel Arteta has fanned the flames for Arsenal, but they are still Arsenal. Frank Lampard and Chelsea know what they are working with.

Before Chelsea hosts Arsenal, who makes the combined XI from the only London club with a Champions League title and the second-best club in North London?

Chelsea has a brutal run of games spread out over the next month. Frank Lampard will need all hands on deck as rotation takes a back seat.
Travis Tyler|
Reece James is becoming Chelsea's best source of accurate crosses into the penalty area, but only Tammy Abraham seems interested in connecting with them.
George Perry|
Realistically, Chelsea's season comes down to the next month's worth of matches. Everything hinges on a good set of results in this period.
Travis Tyler|
Chelsea’s defence should be further along than they are at this point in the season. They are making too many of the same mistakes time and again.
Barrett Rouen|
Reece James has helped shift the balance of Chelsea's attack from the left side to the right. His place in the XI has rippled across the pitch.
George Perry|
Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga has good and bad weeks, but how much of the blame for Chelsea's struggles can really be put on to the Spanish keeper?
Travis Tyler|
Chelsea fans love a scapegoat, and more and more are turning their fingers towards N'Golo Kante as the source for the attacking woes.
Travis Tyler|
Chelsea’s inability to break down teams that sit park the bus may be collateral damage of playing the kids. Still, the long-term project is worth pursuing.
Kevin Peacock|
Nothing worked for Chelsea for 93 minutes at St. James' Park, and then things imploded. The team does not need a revolution, just alternatives.
George Perry|
Dismal. Grim. Bleak. Funereal. And to think that describes what we now know were the happy parts of Chelsea's trip to Newcastle: the 93 minutes at 0-0.
George Perry|
Chelsea are in Newcastle today with the chance to go eight points clear of Manchester United. Nothing comes easy at St. James' Park.
