Chelsea v Sunderland - Premier League
Conte's Chelsea won the Premier League last term, but second-season syndrome affected the Italian

Rumours questioning the future of the Italian at Stamford Bridge have been around since the very start of the season, when they began the defence of their Premier League title with a loss to surprise-packages Burnley.

As the campaign progressed, Conte's Blues were very hit-and-miss, at times looking excellent but lacking consistency throughout.

A disappointing performance in the Champions League, in which they scraped through their group and exited at the hands of Barcelona in the last-16, put Conte's future under serious doubt.

However, a late revival, a potential top-four finish and an FA Cup final meant that Chelsea's season could still find enough success to keep the Italian in a job.

They missed out on the top four thanks to Liverpool's beating of Brighton and the Blues' capitulation at Newcastle on the final day, meaning that the manager's last chance comes in the form of a must-win final against Manchester United this weekend.

Defeat at Wembley will almost certainly see the end of Conte's tenure, with Juventus boss Max Allegri the reported favourite of owner Roman Abramovich, to replace him.
