Chelsea's Champions League hopes hit hard by Man Utd defeat

Chelsea suffer fourth consecutive Premier League loss

Chelsea are now at very real risk of failing to qualify for next season's Champions League after slumping to a 1-0 defeat at home to top-five rivals Manchester United on Saturday night.

Inadequate performances from key players

Chelsea went close to ending their agonising goal drought on more than one occasion, with Liam Delap seeing a fine header come back off the bar as the hosts tried to cancel out Matheus Cunha's opener - which came with United's first shot on target and after a fine run down the right wing from Bruno Fernandes. Cole Palmer & Alejandro Garnacho were painfully ineffective.

  • Chelsea lost 1-0 at home to Manchester United.
  • The Blues have failed to score in their last four Premier League matches.
  • Enzo Fernandez returned after his club-imposed suspension.
Chelsea's fourth consecutive Premier League loss leaves them at risk of missing out on the Champions League.

Blues' goal drought continues

Even though Enzo Fernandez showed what Liam Rosenior's side had been missing, they once again failed to score.
