during the Barclays Premier League match between Stoke City and Chelsea at Britannia Stadium on November 7, 2015 in Stoke on Trent, England.

VIDEO: Marko Arnautovic’s volley puts Stoke up 1-0 and Chelsea in deeper trouble

We didn’t think it was going to get worse for Chelsea, it’s getting worse. Marko Arnautovic put down a vicious volley to give Stoke the 1-0 win and deepen the hole for Chelsea on their top four expectations.

Chelsea is 3-2-7 after the Stoke game, this will be their seventh loss and the last time they lost all but five of their 12 games, they were relegated. I still don’t think Chelsea will be relegated but this will probably shut the door on their top four hopes.
