Chelsea go into this match in the bottom half of the Premier League, the first time they’ll do so for a league game since September 2020. Excluding season openers, the Blues haven't lost any of their last 20 games when starting in the bottom half, since a 2-1 defeat to Leicester in December 2015. That season, of course, the Foxes won their maiden Premier League title.
