And we are not the only ones to think the Blues are set for a culture shock ... Wayne Rooney is convinced Manchester United can inflict major psychological damage on Chelsea with victory at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Newcastle To Take Chelsea's Place?
The Blues have taken just a single point from their last two matches, and another defeat this weekend would really leave them floundering and provide new boss Avram Grant with a major headache in his first few days in charge.
Rooney: "If we can win, that would be Chelsea getting one point from nine in their last three games.
"You never know what that might do to their confidence.
"I know we didn't have the best of starts this season but it is amazing how quickly it has turned round.
"Now we have a chance to go three points in front of them, which makes it a massive game, even if it is not going to decide the title."
