Is Carlo Ancelotti turning into Luis Felipe Scolari - and will the same fate befall him?
Like the Brazilian him last season, Ancelotti’s side has a brilliant start to the season. But like Scolari, it all started to go pear-shaped just before Christmas.
Like Scolari, will Roman Abramovich ditch his Italian manager before the season is over?
This is the question on every Chelsea fan’s lips - those that booed the team off the pitch will be first in the queue.
The comparison to last season is remarkable. - adventurous play coupled with fine goals and wins quickly turned into edgy, negative play, lots of effort but appalling defensive errors, particularly from set-pieces.
We shall see.
Certainly this 3-3 draw against a injury-hit Everton has to be the last of the slide that has seen the Blues fail to win in their past four games.
What do you think about Chelsea chances of glory this season?
