And they have already lost to Manchester City, Crystal Palace and Everton in the opening weeks of the season. Mourinho last month signed a new four-year contract keeping him at the club until 2019 but there are already rumours that his job is under threat.

GETTY Paris Saint-Germain are ready to offer Jose Mourinho a way out of Chelsea at the end of the season

One well-placed source has revealed that Mourinho could have been axed had Chelsea lost to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Champions League in midweek. Off the pitch, he has appeared agitated and is now under investigation from the FA for alleged abusive or sexist language towards team doctor Eva Carneiro - although he is not expected to be charged. Carneiro had her role at the club downgraded following the 2-2 draw with Swansea in August and hasn't been seen at work since then. Mourinho was also in hot water for cutting short a television interview last weekend after being asked a question about John Stones - and later had a spat with Everton boss Roberto Martinez for conducting a TV interview ahead of him.
