The stats do not look good for Chelsea going into their game against Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday night.
Liam Rosenior’s side have lost their last four Premier League matches, failing to score in any of them.
Finding the back of the net has not been Chelsea’s only issue, though.
What does Liam Rosenior have to do to end this terrible run in the Premier League?

Chelsea have been outrun by every team in the Premier League this season
According to journalist Dom Smith, Chelsea have been outrun in all 33 of their Premier League games this season.
The tweet posted by Smith is likely to refer to distance covered, which also includes walking and jogging rather than just sprints. Nevertheless, it is still not a good look for Chelsea.
The biggest issue at Chelsea right now, though, has to be the team’s defending. Since Rosenior took over in January, the Blues have kept just one clean sheet in the Premier League.
Across all competitions, Chelsea have also conceded 35 goals, so it is fair to say that they have been very leaky at the back.

In the Champions League, they conceded eight goals combined in their two legs against Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16.
A slight tweak in tactics could be enough to stop Chelsea from getting outrun by their opponents, but it is probably going to take at least one signing to improve the team defensively.
A central defender with some real experience would help, and one could actually be on their way. It was recently reported that Chelsea are now willing to sign more experienced players.
In terms of candidates to come in, Crystal Palace’s Maxence Lacroix, 26, has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. It is thought that Lacroix would be interested in joining Chelsea in the next transfer window.
All in all, it is clear that Chelsea have multiple areas to work on. Address those areas, and they should have a much better 2026/27 campaign.
