Chelsea is facing a series of problems that could have a huge impact on his hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
The Blues were humbled 6-0 by the title chasers, Manchester City, on Sunday. A result that allowed Manchester United and Arsenal to win the victory, which allowed them to slide to sixth place in the Premier League table.
And they do not have another Premier League match for two weeks now.
Chelsea will play four games before their next league match: two against Malmo in the Europa League, a draw between the FA Cup and Manchester United and the final of the Carabao Cup with Manchester City.
And their next league match? The small deal of a London derby with Tottenham in search of title Wednesday night.
Maurizio Sarri's men could be four points off the top four when the game was sent off against the Spurs, and the loss to their rivals could leave them seven yards.
After reaching the final, Chelsea's home match with Brighton and Hove Albion will have to be reorganized, and their move to Goodison Park to face Everton next month could also be reorganized if the Blues progressed in the FA Cup.

That could put a lot of pressure on Chelsea at the end of the season as to his position in the league, and potentially let them play.
If Chelsea fails to qualify through the Premier League, there could possibly be a second road in the Champions League, as they could by winning the Europa League, and the Blues are the current favorites.
The final of the Europa League will take place in Baku on May 29, after the end of the Premier League season. If Chelsea reaches the final, his fate in the battle of the first four would be known.
Manchester United, which is now one point ahead of the Blues, still faces four of its "big six" opponents before the end of the season, but Arsenal, who is tied for points with Chelsea, is not the only one to win. that Tottenham and Manchester United to play from the current top six.
Of course, there is no guarantee that Arsenal will win the remaining 11 games, but its record against teams outside the top six is good, and if they can argue that in the final stages of the season, they will force Chelsea or United to get results from their rivals to finish over them.
But do you think the Blues will finish in the top four?
You can have your say by predicting the results of the remaining games, below.
