In fact, the Blues have netted just SIX times in nearly four months.
That's six goals in 15 games since November, and just three of those have come in the Premier League.
No Prem team has scored fewer goals than Chelsea since November 6.

Graham Potter's appointment was always billed as a long-term project, but the current run of form is a major cause for concern.
The Blues are winless in their last six games and have won just two out of their last 16 Prem matches, leaving them slumped tenth in the Prem table.
Rivals Leeds, buoyed by the arrival of Javi Gracia, and Borussia Dortmund are up next for Potter and his wounded side.
And two more poor results could leave the Blues boss facing the axe.
