Chelsea are enduring their worst ever Premier League season, currently rotting in 12th place and with the potential to drop further still in the weeks to come.
Having lost all six of their games under interim boss Frank Lampard, and facing a tough fixture list which includes games against Manchester United, Manchester City and Newcastle United, it is unclear whether they will manage to pick up any more points this campaign.
Currently marooned on 39 points, they are one short of the magic 40 points mark that normally guarantees Premier League safety, and while they have been the subject of jokes from rival fans about potential relegation for the last month, it remains a possibility.
With six teams below them, here is how Chelsea could still go down.

First, Chelsea would have to lose their remaining five games, handing Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest three points in the process, meaning that the Cherries would leapfrog Frank Lampard’s side.
And, according to ESPN, these are the results that would send the Blues down.
