Chelsea's four-game losing streak continues after a 3-0 defeat at Everton, leaving them six points off the top four. Sky Sports' Paul Merson asserts players appear disconnected from manager Liam Rosenior, describing the Everton performance as 'horrible' and stating the Blues 'don't sit pretty' with fans already pressuring the coach. Merson questions Rosenior's credentials, asking if he'd get a top job at Liverpool or Newcastle, suggesting it's 'madness'. Chelsea's board expects top-five finishes, but Merson believes the current squad lacks the quality to meet that standard.

Tottenham face 'real worrying' relegation fears after a 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, dropping them to 17th. Merson notes their inconsistency – a win over Liverpool followed by capitulation at Wembley – and predicts they could slip into the bottom three before their Sunderland clash. He highlights their daunting final fixtures: Chelsea away, Brighton, and Leeds, warning a trip to Stamford Bridge could be pivotal.

Newcastle's Eddie Howe faces scrutiny despite winning the club's first major trophy in decades. Merson criticizes the Isak signing, questioning Yoane Wissa's value and pointing to midfield injuries as factors hindering the team. He argues Howe's position is misplaced, stating he 'shouldn't be under pressure' given his recent achievements.

This crisis for Chelsea and Tottenham underscores the fragility of Premier League positions, while Newcastle's situation highlights the challenges of replacing star players and maintaining momentum.
