Frank Lampard fell to his fourth Premier League loss in-a-row as Chelsea manager on Tuesday night, and the Blues can still get relegated.

On Tuesday night, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard suffered his fourth straight Premier League defeat, and the Blues still have a chance to be demoted.

Lampard's primary responsibility was in the Champions League when he was hired as Graham Potter's replacement on an interim basis, through the conclusion of the season, at the beginning of last month.

At that point, it appeared as though Chelsea's season was already over and that they would not gain a spot in the European competition for the upcoming season.

But under the club's all-time leading scorer, things have only gotten worse; after a recent defeat to Brentford, supporters have even demanded his resignation.

He appeared to take a dig at his own club, ahead of Tuesday's game, further annoying fans, as his legacy as a legend started to dim. Tuesday's game was never likely to be easy for the Stamford Bridge side, but they basically surrendered to London rivals Arsenal in the first half. They showed some signs of life at 3-0 down, in the second half, with Noni Madueke scoring a consolation, but ultimately, Lampard lost again.

It's not highly likely to happen, with six clubs still having to overtake the Blues, but it could all start with Bournemouth beating Lampard's men on Saturday to go three points clear of them.

Wolverhampton Wanderers would need three points more than Chelsea, and West Ham United six, meaning the west Londoners would likely have to lose all five of their games remaining.

With six losses under his belt already, including the two in the Champions League to Real Madrid, it would be quite incredible for the former Derby County manager to make it 11.

The 44-year-old would have to follow up a defeat to Bournemouth, with a loss to Forest, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle United their next games.

Those three thee final games could still be enough to see the team go into the Championship, but it would take a hell of an effort from other clubs, who haven't exactly been known for winning this season.

Inter have made the asking price clear for wingback Denzel Dumfries during the summer transfer window clear, with incoming Chelsea coach eyeing up a move for the Dutch World Cup star.

This according to Italian news outlet Repubblica.it, who report that the 27-year-old is a major target for the Argentine who is expected to take over at Stamford Bridge, and that the Nerazzurri would expect a fee of at least €40 million for his signature. Dumfries’s future at Inter has looked uncertain for some time now, with the 26-year-old former PSV man having been strongly linked as a possible sale during the summer transfer window should the Nerazzurri need to bring in cash from the market. The likes of Chelsea and Manchester United have been reported to be interested, whilst Barcelona have reportedly also enquired about the Dutchman for the summer transfer window. However, in March Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Dumfries is no longer a major target for Chelsea as he had been in the past. The situation at Stamford Bridge has been in flux, however, with Graham Potter removed as head coach just a few months after taking over, replaced with Frank Lampard on an interim basis.

Journalist Simon Phillips has suggested that Chelsea fans are losing their patience with £250k-a-week star.

According to journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea supporters are "losing their patience" with Joao Felix, according to GIVEMESPORT. When he first joined the team, the 23-year-old appeared to be an exciting signing, but he is having trouble scoring goals. Joao Felix: Chelsea news Felix, who reportedly makes £250,000 per week at Chelsea, transferred there on loan from Atletico Madrid of Spain during the January transfer window. It's been a difficult period for the Portuguese international, with the Blues not playing a system which suits the role he's predominantly played in his career. As per Transfermarkt, Felix has mostly played as a second striker during his time at Benfica and Atletico, but he's mainly been used off the left-hand side at Chelsea. Despite his difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge, it appears that both Felix and Chelsea want to continue together beyond this season. Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed this news but has st...

Chelsea will express their interest in signing Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana during their upcoming meeting with Inter Milan over Romelu Lukaku’s future, according to Evening Standard.

The newspaper claims Blues’ officials will travel to Italy next week to discuss the future of Lukaku, who is due to return to Chelsea in the summer when his loan deal expires at the end of the season. The Belgium striker moved to Inter on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea last summer and has impressed at the San Siro Stadium, scoring nine goals and registering three assists in 26 appearances across all competitions. The West Londoners are planning a summer clear-out in order to meet the Financial Fair Play requirements after spending £323m in the winter transfer window on eight new players as well as splashing out close to £300m last summer. However, bringing in a shot-stopper could be on the cards as they look to bolster their squad for next season. Edouard Mendy is expected to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the campaign after losing his first team place. The Senegal international has featured in only 11 games in all competitions having been hampered by in...
