Chelsea’s spell under club legend Frank Lampard, in his current stint as interim manager, continues to be a nightmare as the Blues have failed to register a single win with him in-charge.
After a loss to Arsenal, they slumped to 12th in the league table and may just come agonisingly close to relegation if it continues to lose every game from here.
