Maurizio Sarri finds himself on the brink at Chelsea after Sunday's humiliating 6-0 thrashing by Manchester City.

The Italian has only been in charge at Stamford Bridge for seven months, but is facing mounting criticism over his style of football - and results - after the Blues dropped to sixth in the table.
