Enzo Maresca is at risk of being sacked by Chelsea if their results do not improve in the next few weeks.
Maresca is under mounting pressure after Tuesday’s 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth left the Blues with only one win from their last seven Premier League matches.
Chelsea have won just two of their eight matches in December across all competitions and were booed off by a section of fans at Stamford Bridge after the Bournemouth game.
