Chelsea are well on their way to recording their worst ever points tally in a Premier League season. The Blues have taken just 39 points from 31 Premier League games, still some way shy of their record low of 50 points - set in the 1995/96 and 2015/16 campaigns.
The way the team is playing at present shows little hope of picking up the 11 points needed from their final seven fixtures to equal that record with Frank Lampard openly criticising the team following their 2-1 defeat against Brighton on Saturday afternoon. Conor Gallagher's deflected strike opened the scoring for the hosts and ended the club's goal drought, but it was another disappointing afternoon for Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues face Real Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final second leg on Tuesday night as they aim to turn around a 2-0 deficit - which is unlikely. Following that are tough games against Brentford and Arsenal in the Premier League as Lampard's hopes of changing the form at Chelsea still look bleak.
