Chelsea have been going through one of the disastrous periods

Chelsea have been going through one of the disastrous periods in recent memory after having lost five league games already.

This record sees them near the bottom of the table and nowhere near enough to retain the league title that the team won last season. One of the reasons put forward has been the lack of form amongst key players like Diego Costa. At this stage last season, Costa was on course to becoming the league’s top scorer. This time around, he has scored less than five league goals. It puts a lot of pressure on the backup forwards Radamel Falcao and Loic Remy.
