Chelsea will not make a knee-jerk reaction to Wednesday's embarrassing loss to Bournemouth but manager Antonio Conte is still virtually certain to leave before next season.
The 3-0 loss to the Cherries added to simmering tensions between the Chelsea board and their Italian manager.
But there is no immediate desire to sack Conte, who still has credit in the bank following last season's title win.
Further defeats like Wednesday's could push the Blues hierarchy into a rethink.
