Enzo Maresca is safe in his position as Chelsea manager, with the club's hierarchy in no way panicking only six weeks into the season.
After successive Premier League losses to Manchester United then Brighton, Maresca faced noisy criticism from fans as he was accused of reacting negatively to red cards.
However, those reds for Robert Sanchez and Trevoh Chalobah are being taken into account by those above Maresca when assessing their slump. Indeed, it has been noted Chelsea have lost only five times in the last six months and had a man dismissed in four of those matches.
