As Chelsea prepares for upcoming matches against Bournemouth and Manchester City, the club faces the possibility of negative results that could see them slip to 8th or 9th place in the Premier League standings.

The team continues to struggle under manager Enzo Maresca's leadership, facing significant challenges in implementing a style of play that produces positive results. Should the disappointing performances persist, Maresca may find himself under intense pressure from both the media and the fans.

Will Chelsea's Struggles Persist?

In this context, it’s expected that the club’s management will continue to show confidence in striker Nicolas Jackson, despite his underwhelming performances so far. There remains hope that the team will improve in the near future.

The club might choose to delay any decision on Maresca’s future until next summer, which mirrors the pattern of previous seasons. However, Chelsea now finds itself at a crossroads, and it’s imperative that the team addresses these issues to overcome the current struggles and push forward in upcoming competitions.
