The Premier League holders have endured their worst start to the season since Roman Abrahimovich took over and have won only two games of their opening seven fixtures in the league. The Blues also suffered defeat at the hands of FC Porto in the UEFA Champions League.
Chelsea FC take on Southampton tomorrow in the Premier League at the Stamford Bridge and would be hoping to cover the lost ground on league leaders Manchester United, who travel to the Emirates.
