Miserable Chelsea in worst Premier League start

Miserable Chelsea in worst Premier League start

 The Blues' defeat to West Ham means they have picked up just 11 points from 10 games, while the Hammers are enjoying their best ever start to a campaign
Chelsea lost their fifth league game of the season as they went down 2-1 to West Ham on Saturday and in doing so set a new record for their worst ever start to a Premier League season.
The Blues - who won the title last term - are sat in 15th place having picked up just 11 points from their first 10 games.
Jose Mourinho's side have already conceded 21 goals, having let in just 32 in the whole of last season.
Their plight is in stark contrast to the Hammers, whose haul of 20 points represents their finest start to a campaign since the division was formed in 1992.
Slaven Bilic's men have struggled at home but bucked that trend to pick up their sixth win this term, which leaves them in second place in the table.
