Graeme Le Saux believes he knows why Chelsea is struggling

Graeme Le Saux believes Chelsea’s struggles come down to a number of factors which have combined to create a “complicated environment”.

Le Saux believes the absence of Nemaja Matic, who Chelsea sold to United for £40m earlier this year, has been critical to their lacklustre start.

“Matic not being there and Kante being out is proving to be a real issue for them and while Fabregas offers a lot in possession he doesn’t give you that reliability defensively,” said Betfair Ambassador Le Saux.

“David Luiz has made some poor mistakes in recent weeks and even ‘Mr. Reliable’ Cesar Azpilicueta has been caught in possession on a few occasions.

“When you overlay the constant rumours around the future of the manager with these errors, it all adds up to a complicated environment.

He added: “No matter what the result may be on Sunday, a performance of the highest level is absolutely vital to show that the fire still burns.”

The Blues currently are sitting nine points behind leaders Manchester City and welcome a United side in high spirits after they secured a 2-0 win over Benfica in the Champions League at Old Trafford.
