Michael Carrick's job prospects, LinkedIn Liam Rosenior & Bruno Fernandes' Player of the Year bid - Winners and losers of Man Utd's massive win at Chelsea
Chelsea's Woes Continue
Chelsea simply had to win Saturday night's Premier League clash with Manchester United. But they didn't. They lost. Again. And without scoring a goal. Again.
Consequences of the Loss
It's now four blanks in a row in four defeats in a row for the Blues - their worst goal-less run of results since November 1912. As a result, Liam Rosenior's struggling side remain sixth in the Premier League standings, four points behind fifth-placed Liverpool, who have a game in hand.
- Chelsea have four defeats in a row without scoring a goal.
- The Blues are sixth in the Premier League standings.
- Liverpool have a game in hand and are four points ahead of Chelsea.
