So far this season Chelsea have struggled to make a mark on the Premier League, having spent just over £220m on their squad last summer on the likes of Ben Chilwell, Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner. Many believed that these signings, as well as Thiago Silva on a free transfer from PSG, would push Chelsea on towards a title challenge, having finished fourth in the previous season. In fact, results have become worse than last campaign’s, leaving the Stamford Bridge club in 9th place, and Frank Lampard has the unwanted record of having the worst points per game ratio out of any manager that Roman Abramovich has appointed, as well as leading the Blues to their second-worst start under the Russian’s ownership, only better than Jose Mourinho’s disastrous 2015/16 start.
Lampard to be the next manager sacked in the Premier League is priced at 10/3
