The Blues boss has been under increasing pressure following three comprehensive away defeats in recent weeks, culminating in a 6-0 loss to Man City
Chelsea's players must recognise the importance of a crucial run of fixtures in the next two weeks, insists former Blues winger Joe Cole, who believes Maurizio Sarri is doing a good job.
Pressure has mounted on Sarri after consecutive away losses to Arsenal, Bournemouth and Manchester City in recent weeks, culminating in the 6-0 defeat at the Etihad Stadium.
Sarri is now in desperate need of results ahead of his side facing Manchester United in the FA Cup fifth round on Monday night before playing Malmo in the Europa League and Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.
