Chelsea recorded two wins in their last three matches, but started off by losing 2-1 against Sunderland. They responded by beating Fulham 2-3, and followed that up by winning 2-0 against Luton. Chelsea just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Premier League matches at the Stamford Bridge. They also drew one and lost four of these six encounters, in which they scored four and conceded ten goals.
