Chelsea suffered another humiliating Premier League defeat losing 4-2 at home to Wolves on Sunday, which saw the Blues leapfrogged and dropped into the bottom half of the table. Cole Palmer gave the hosts the ideal start, finishing off a wonderful team move to put Chelsea ahead. However, Axel Disasi put the ball into his own net either side of goals from Matheus Cunha, before the Brazilian then completed his hat-trick in another worrying result for Mauricio Pochettino's side with the pressure mounting. Here, Express Sport takes a look at some of the biggest talking points.
Ben Chilwell is still continuing his recovery from injury, but may not be the long-term answer for Pochettino at left-back. The Argentine head coach has been forced to use Levi Colwill out-of-position in that role and could bring the former Brighton loanee back there for Wednesday's FA Cup replay with Aston Villa if he is fit.
Wolves were constantly able to get Pedro Neto involved and his on-ball effervescent personality was on full display as he could attack Chelsea time and time again, highlighted spectacularly by the visitors' third goal when Chilwell could not retain possession and Neto broke forward to tee up Cunha who finished past Djordje Petrovic.
Chilwell was caught up the pitch on several occasions, where he remained ineffective, and the vice-captain's role may need to be considered if he is to contribute in a back four this season.

Raheem Sterling booed off the pitch
Raheem Sterling has not scored a league goal for over two months and his influence on the team continues to fade. He tried on several occasions to beat Nelson Semedo, but struggled to get the better of the Portuguese right-back.
With Mykhaylo Mudryk, Noni Madueke and Carney Chukwuemeka all warming the bench, Pochettino has a plethora of options to choose from but the current left flank occupied by Chilwell and Sterling is not working.
Shortly after the second half got underway, Sterling had a huge chance to equalise when Chilwell cut the ball back after Palmer's stunning pass, but the England forward sliced his shot wide and that effort summed up his afternoon before being booed off the pitch by a section of supporters.

Moises Caicedo has faced plenty of criticism since Chelsea broke the British transfer record to sign him from Brighton, but it appeared as if he had turned a corner when his inch-perfect pass put Palmer in to open the scoring.
But three minutes later, at a time when composure was needed, the midfielder had his pocket pinched in his own half as Wolves raced away to equalise through Cunha.
He was then booked for dissent for the second game in a row, with frustrations clearly getting the better of the Ecuadorian before he was replaced by Nicolas Jackson with 30 minutes remaining.
The 22-year-old was reportedly hugely frustrated with his substitution, as London World claim that he smashed up a seat on the bench after walking off the pitch in the latest episode of his Chelsea nightmare.
