Chelsea take on Liverpool with Mourinho’s job hanging in balance

Chelsea’s season hit a new low on Tuesday night when the defending champions crashed out of the League Cup against Stoke.

Chelsea lost 5-4 to Stoke City on penalties as Jose Mourinho and Chelsea continued their bad run in the ongoing season. After playing regulation time on a draw after Loic Remy scored in the 90^th minute to level the John Walters’ goal early on, Eden Hazard was the culprit as his effort was saved by young English goalkeeper Jack Butland. Hazard, who has been out of touch has been linked with a move away from Stamnford Bridge and is rumored to have bust up with Portuguese manager in the dressing room.

After losing to West Ham in the Premier League, the club stands 15^th in the league table with just 11 points in 10 games. Liverpool are next opponents for Chelsea in the Premier League and with new manager in charge getting the first win in league cup, they are fully determined to take the momentum to the premier league. Jurgen Klopp got his first victory with Liverpool as the side registered a 1-0 win with Nathaniel Clyne getting the only goal of the game. With a side getting the momentum and other falling down, this could be decider for Chelsea’s manager.
