3 reasons why Chelsea's season has gone off track

#2 Home form

Chelsea's have already lost thrice at home this season in the league

A hallmark of any successful team is their ability to make their home stadium a 'fortress.' No club knows it better than Chelsea, who comfortably hold the biggest unbeaten home streak in Premier League history, having been undefeated for 85 games for a period that lasted for over three years between 2004 and 2007. But those days are long gone and the current campaign has seen the Blues be constantly lacklustre at home.

Last week's loss to Bournemouth was Chelsea's third home league defeat of the season, having previously lost to Liverpool and West Ham. They have also dropped points at Stamford Bridge in stalemates to Leicester City and Sheffield United. All in all, the Blues have taken only 14 of the available 27 points and not scored more than two goals in any league match at their home turf so far.

Moreover, even in the Champions League, the situation has been more or less the same. Lampard's side only won one of their three group stage games at home and their league cup elimination to Manchester United happened at Stamford Bridge.

While an extremely impressive away record has ensured that the Blues were not badly affected, that is hardly sustainable as they have been figured out over the last month. Chelsea's home form is simply unacceptable and that is something they need to immediately address, or it could quickly become the reason behind them not finishing in the top-four.
