From being hailed as one of the best managerial signings at Chelsea to the fringes of getting the sack, Maurizio Sarri’s tenure has taken a full 180-degree turn since summer. The word from the media is that his days are numbered if results don’t improve in the next couple of weeks.

The former Napoli manager started his reign in a brilliant fashion at Stamford Bridge, going toe-to-toe with both Liverpool and Manchester City in the first few months. But a 2-1 defeat at the Molineaux Stadium gaped open too many chinks in Blues’ armor, and since then the form has been dwindling as Chelsea hardly put together a winning run to remain in the top-4.

The pressure escalated even further after a tame show at Stamford Bridge against Manchester United ended Chelsea’s hopes of defending the FA Cup trophy.

That’s why a win over Malmo is of paramount importance for Sarri because, on Sunday, Chelsea will be playing the League Cup final against Manchester City.

INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:
Chelsea have won their last six home games in the Europa League, scoring at least three times in five of those games. While Malmo FF have just one win to show against the English opponents in seven away games. It all indicates towards a comfortable and a much-needed win for Maurizio Sarri and his men.
