Chelsea are in desperate need of returning to winning ways tonight in the Premier League when they welcome Everton to Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are actually on their longest unbeaten run in all competitions in more than two years, however it is fair to say it has underwhelmed many.
For example, they dropped four points in the last three games to Sheffield United and Burnley, both at the foot of the table.
Last week in particular will have been a real blow at Bramall Lane, with it looking as if they were going to win the game as it went into added time.
Other than Noni Madueke, it was actually a pretty underwhelming performance for the Blues as far as their attackers go, with Nicolas Jackson in particular failing to impress.
