bwin Sportsblog - Football - Villas-Boas under pressure at the Bridge?

With Chelsea being 4th in the Premier League going into November then that will not please owner Roman Abramovich. Chelsea have done well this season but three defeats in ten league games is hardly conducive of a team likely to win the title. History shows us that teams in 4th position in November do not go on to win the title.

Chelsea let a victory slip in midweek against Genk in the Champions League and now they face a key trip to Blackburn. I think defeat in this game would really turn the screw on new boss Andre Villas-Boas who just may start to feel the same heat that previous managers felt.

Even successful managers like Jose Mourinho felt the wrath of Abramovich and Chelsea just look like a team that will fall short this season. They already trail City by a massive 9pts and that will be tough to claw back. If results go against them this weekend then they could even find themselves outside the top five.
