Chelsea fell to a shock 3-0 defeat against Leeds United on Sunday to tarnish their start to the new Premier League campaign.
Thomas Tuchel's side headed into the clash at Elland Road in fine mettle off the back of an opening day win at Everton and an enthralling 2-2 draw with Tottenham last weekend, but they were put to the sword by Leeds, who surged to a thumping win courtesy of goals from Brenden Aaronson, Rodrigo and Jack Harrison.
The chastening result could accelerate Chelsea's transfer plans, with the Blues expected to be busy in the final fortnight of the summer window. Ahead of a frantic period in west London, Mirror Football takes a look at all the latest news from in and around Stamford Bridge...
Tuchel slams Blues flops
Tuchel tore into his side after their humbling 3-0 defeat against Jesse Marsch's side on Sunday.
The German hit out at his team for producing a number of individual errors in the one-sided clash. The Londoners were far from their best and gifted Leeds an early lead after Edouard Mendy was caught on the ball close to his own goalline.
And Tuchel was adamant that it was those in-match lapses that were to blame for the disappointing result rather than anything else.
Blues boss drops striker hint
Join the debate! Who would you like to see Chelsea sign before the transfer deadline? Let us know here.
Tuchel has hinted that he could strip Jorginho of penalty duties in a bid to get his strikers firing.
The Blues have spent over £170million on new talent this summer but have mustered just three league goals in as many games. None of Chelsea's forward players have found the net so far this term - and Tuchel could take desperate measures to change that.
Jorginho has established himself as Chelsea's designated penalty taker and even netted a spot-kick to give the Londoners an opening day win at Everton. But Tuchel could hand penalty duties to his shot-shy strikers in a bid to get the goals flowing.
Man Utd outline Maguire stance
Manchester United reportedly have no interest in entertaining offers for their beleaguered captain Harry Maguire this summer.
Chelsea had been credited with an interest in the England star, who has struggled for form at Old Trafford over the past 12 months. It is believed that the Blues enquired about the former Leicester City man after United's interest in Christian Pulisic emerged earlier this week.
However, the Premier League giants have made it clear that they have no appetite to offload Maguire in the final fortnight of the summer transfer window.
