Are the reigning Premier League champions in a relegation scrap?

That might be your view after Chelsea suffered yet another defeat in the shambolic defence of the title they won in May.

Or perhaps you think the star-studded side are capable of putting together a set of results that put them back among the elite?

Defeat at home to Bournemouth on Saturday left many asking, not for the first time this season, what on earth is happening with Jose Mourinho's side. It was their eighth loss in 15 Premier League games and the first time they had lost at home to a newly-promoted side for 14 years.

It left the Blues three points above the relegation zone, 17 from the summit, 14 from the top four and eight from the top six.

After the match, Mourinho appeared to lower expectations for where his side could finish the season.

"Our objective is to finish top four," he told Sky Sports. "Before this game it was realistic to think that our quality would take us out of this position, but maybe now we have to think about top six."

However he later told the post-match media conference: "Let's think about winning the next game and forget targets. To fix targets at this moment with our inconsistency is difficult."
