Chelsea finds itself in a deep crisis, with the 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City confirming their dismal run of form. This result saw them equal a negative record dating back to 1998, as the 'Blues' have now suffered three consecutive Premier League defeats without scoring a single goal.

Despite a spirited effort in the first half at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea couldn't withstand Manchester City's superiority in the second. This marked their third successive league loss, following defeats to Newcastle and Everton, with their attacking struggles evoking memories of past woes.

To find a similar negative streak, one has to go back 28 years. During that period, Chelsea suffered consecutive defeats to Arsenal (2-0), Leicester (2-0), and Manchester United (1-0), failing to secure a point or score a goal in three consecutive league matches.

Chelsea must now urgently find solutions to turn their fortunes around, with the very real threat of missing out on European competition next season looming large.
