A look back at this time a year ago shows it was when tensions were really coming to the surface between Enzo Maresca and the fans at Stamford Bridge. The Blues had dropped points in a number of games since Boxing Day, and results were at their worst in the whole Maresca era.

The Athletic have run the numbers looking at Chelsea’s fixtures for the remainder of the season, and it doesn’t look good.
