Since the turn of the year, it is just one win for Chelsea in all competitions after West Ham United held the Blues to a 1-1 draw on Saturday afternoon.
Despite Joao Felix giving Chelsea an early lead at the London Stadium with his first goal for the club, former Blues full-back Emerson Palmieri ensured the points were shared. Chelsea are still a few players away from having a full strength squad after nothing short of an injury crisis over the past couple of months, and that coupled with eight new signings coming in over the January transfer window, means the club are essentially in transition right now.
"[The] second-half is probably more of a reflection of where we are as a group and as a team," Chelsea head coach Graham Potter said after the draw with West Ham. "In terms of players getting up to speed, returning from injury and players adapting to the Premier League. That's the work in progress, that's what we have to work with but it was a step forward overall from the previous game."
