We’re two games into the new Premier League season and have just three teams with maximum points. The usual suspects Manchester City and Liverpool find themselves in 5th and 6th positions. But, one team has failed to get going really and they are the reigning champions, Chelsea.

We take a look at five reasons Chelsea’s crown is under threat.

3. Diego Costa Issue

52 Premier League goals in 89 Matches at a rate of a goal every 1.7 games is reminiscent of a League winning lethal striker. But, when the striker in question is Diego Costa, things can be unpredictable.

With the open feud between Antonio Conte and Diego Costa being the most highlighted Chelsea event in the media, the morale of the dressing room along with the Club’s charm, are pushed to the second and third pages. With Diego Costa’s preferred club, Atletico Madrid, being under a transfer ban, and his refusal to move to any other club, the biggest issue Chelsea now face, might continue up until the next transfer window. This might result in a rotten apple issue.
