Chelsea has conceded 29 goals in the Premier League this season, which is less than teams like Arsenal and Manchester United, but their recent poor defensive work was depicted in the scorelines.

The most important job for Sarri will be to give the defense more shape as the season progresses. Chelsea will look to win the Europa League and meet Manchester City at the Carabao Cup final in the coming month, and they will need a much improved defense for better results.
