Chelsea are sleepwalking on their way to their worst-ever Premier League points finish in the Premier League era, with further damning statistics highlighting just how poorly the Blues have performed this season.

After losing 3–1 to Arsenal on Tuesday night, Chelsea’s winless run of games continues. They have failed to win in their last seven league games as a result of that match, the last three points being taken by Chelsea on March 11 when they beat Leicester City 3–1.

Chelsea are currently on 39 points and are 12th in the table. Chelsea have five games left to ensure that this season is not the worst season in the club’s history in the Premier League. Those five games are against Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle United, meaning that possibility is not a foregone conclusion.

Chelsea’s worst Premier League season came in 1993/94 when they finished 14th with 51 points in a 42-game campaign. Overall, they only earned 1.2 points per game.

Their current points per game this season? 1.2.

With Frank Lampard in charge and a disjointed, disillusioned side, it’s hard to see how Chelsea will even manage to pull off a win between now and the end of the season, let alone the six it takes to at least continuing those same boring points per game. game report.

What’s worse, the Blues have scored just 31 times in 33 games this season, by far the fewest goals they’ve scored in the past 31 seasons. Their previous lowest tally was in 1995/96 when they scored just 46 goals — it would be hard to find a Chelsea fan convinced their failing striker will score 15 times in their remaining games.

Due to their lack of consistency in front of goal, Chelsea’s goal difference could also potentially be the worst in the club’s history in the Premier League. Fortunately, the defense hasn’t conceded too often — just 38 times — meaning they’re only at -7.

The only other time Chelsea have finished a Premier League season with a negative goal difference was in the first three campaigns of the restructured league, with scores of -3, -4 and -5.

To complicate matters, Chelsea could well have the fewest wins in 2022–23. With just ten this season, Lampard’s side need two to match the club’s current worst performance in the Premier League era, while three more defeats — they currently have 14 — would also be the most for the club.

Oh, and don’t forget that the club has spent over £600 million on new signings in the past two transfer windows, figures they certainly didn’t even come close to in the early 90s when the club was going through its toughest period . in the Premier League.
