Summary
Make it stop...
Matt Davies-Adams is joined by The Athletic's Chelsea experts Simon Johnson and Liam Twomey to reflect on the latest dire chapter in this sorry season following the 2-0 defeat by Brentford at Stamford Bridge. It's now five straight defeats under Frank Lampard as the Blues continued the form which sees them sitting just 10 points above the bottom three.
We dissect the performance and result - and take your questions as we try to understand where it's all gone so horribly wrong.
In more positive news - it looks like the club could be close to securing a new manager... with Mauricio Pochettino in the driving seat to take over. We get the latest on the deal, whether he's the right man - and what his priorities will be if he does indeed take over.
Chelsea fans can take solace in the fact it looks like Arsenal's title hopes have gone out the window - Adrian Clarke from Handbrake Off joins us to tease ahead to Tuesday night's game at The Emirates.
We'll be back next week to round up the meeting with the Gooners and look ahead to the visit of Bournemouth!
Produced by Lucy Oliva.
