Sources have confirmed that Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is in danger of being sacked after his team were beaten 4-2 by Wolves on Sunday.
The Blues took the lead through Cole Palmer at Stamford Bridge but a hattrick from Matheus Cunha and an own goal from Axel Disasi was the difference between the two sides.
A late goal from veteran centre-back Thiago Silva ultimately had no impact on the result.
Chelsea have now won just one of their last four Premier League matches and have dropped to 11th place in the table – 15 points adrift from the top four.
They are, however, set to face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final, so do still have a chance of lifting a trophy and qualifying for Europe this season.
Pressure has been building on Pochettino for some time. Chelsea have spent over £1bn since their takeover in May 2022 and results haven’t improved.
Pochettino can’t be blamed for the careless spending prior to his arrival but the Blues expected to have seen some more signs of improvement since he took charge than they have.
