EXPRESS SPORT brings you all the latest news from Stamford Bridge.
Is Antoine Griezmann the answer to Jose Mourinho's problems?
Griezmann interest steps up
Ateltico Madrid attacker Antoine Griezmann has been singled out as the man to save Chelsea's season according to the Sunday Mirror.
After yet another defeat, this time to Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, Jose Mourinho was forced to deny that Chelsea are in a relegation battle, despite floundering in 14th place in the Premier League just three points off the drop zone.
With Diego Costa's introduction from the bench making no difference to the result, Chelsea are left searching for answers to their offensive struggles.
Costa, who was once again benched for the game, came on at the break to give Chelsea's attack a focal point and it appeared to have the desired effect.
However, the manager was keen to stress it was a team effort.
"We were stronger in the second half but it was not because of Diego - it was the attitude, the intensity, the aggressiveness," Mourinho said
"We started pressing much higher and sooner."
