It's been a really difficult campaign for Chelsea on and off the pitch as we approach the final fixture of the Premier League season. The Blues have now secured a third-place finish in the top-flight, but they are some 18 points adrift of Liverpool in second.

Chelsea started the campaign in tremendous style and were many people's perhaps outside shot to be crowned champions come May. Saturday, December 4 could be looked back at the turning point in the Blues' Premier League season.
