It's a question asked sporadically in recent weeks by a handful of Chelsea supporters. But few have truly felt it worth answering; the scenario was simply incomprehensible. Yet after another weekend in which Graham Potter's side failed to secure victory, there are those more willing to engage, debate, and perhaps accept the seemingly impossible.
Could Chelsea be relegated from the Premier League?
The reflex answer is no; that is learned behaviour. Chelsea don't do relegation battles. They do top-four pursuits, the odd title charge, and trophies aplenty. Still, the club's current reality can't be brushed aside. After 24 matches of the current campaign, the Blues are 10th in the table and only 10 points clear of the drop zone.
