Chelsea’s poor goalscoring on the road
Chelsea have drawn 3 of their last 5 away games, and this can be attributed to their surprising inability to score away from Stamford Bridge. In those five matches, the Blues have scored just six goals.
For such a dominant side, Chelsea often struggle to convert chances into goals, with Eden Hazard and Willian particularly guilty of wastefulness.
This inefficiency away from home makes them very vulnerable to a shock loss, especially if they retreat deep late on, as they did against Manchester City and Manchester United.
Even Sunderland, with the score at 0-0, had plenty of chances to nick the game last weekend, and Newcastle, with the pace of Ayoze Perez up front, will be a real threat on the break.
