Chelsea's title defence has gone horribly wrong yet again and their latest setback at home to West Ham now means that Antonio Conte's men are 10 points away from rivals Tottenham Hotspur who are in fourth place.

A top four finish seems highly unlikely now and it is certain that there will be a lot of change in terms of personnel at the club over the summer.

If Chelsea continue to struggle and fail to qualify for the Champions League next season, which looks almost certain now, then they will face a lot of competition from clubs trying to lure their stars away from Stamford Bridge.

Furthermore, Arsenal's 3-2 win over Southampton means that the Gunners have now bridged the gap between them and Chelsea to just 3 points.
