That's six goals in 15 games since November, and only three of those have come in the Premier League.
No Prem team has scored fewer goals than Chelsea since November 6.
Their record over that period is equal to that of Manchester United midfielder Fred, a player barely known for scoring. Old Trafford's main player is in extremely high form at the moment, while the shocking collapse of Stamford Bridge is well known.
In a word, Manchester United have scored 53 goals in the same period that Chelsea have scored only 6.
Marcus Rashford alone has scored 18 goals since November 6, three times more than Chelsea's total.
Manchester City and Arsenal also scored five times as many goals as Chelsea during this period.
Even struggling, Leeds United have scored 20 more goals in all competitions since November 6-14 than the Blues. Most read football
While Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Riyad Mahrez, Mo Salah, Ivan Toney, Ollie Watkins, Eddie Nketiah and James Ward-Prowse all beat Chelsea in that four-month period.
The appointment of Graham Potter has always been touted as a long-term project, but current form is the main cause for concern.
The Blues are winless in the last six games and have won only two of the last 16 Prem games, sending them down to tenth place on the Prem table.
Leeds' rivals are excited with the arrival of Javi Gracia, and Borussia Dortmund are next for Potter and his injured team.
And two more bad results can cause The Blues boss to face the ax of public opinion. By then, the reborn Fred could even add to his roster and overtake Chelsea in goals scored since November 6.
