Welcome to The Debrief, a Sky Sports column where Adam Bate analyzes key Premier League stories using data and opinion. This week, Liam Rosenior's Chelsea is under scrutiny after a string of defeats, including a loss to Manchester United. Despite Rosenior's claims of bad luck, the numbers suggest there may be more to it.
Chelsea's finishing has been poor, with the team failing to score despite having the most shots in the Premier League since mid-March. The issue may lie in the quality of their chances, with only Wolves having a lower expected-goals total per shot over the past 10 games.
Meanwhile, Newcastle's high-intensity approach is starting to show cracks, with the team conceding too many goals and losing five of their last six home games. The pressure is mounting on Eddie Howe, with his selection decisions and role in recruitment under scrutiny.
Elsewhere, Liverpool's Florian Wirtz is struggling to make an impact, with his statistics not matching his talent. With the Premier League season heating up, these storylines will be crucial to the fate of these teams.
