Chelsea’s promising start to the 2024‑25 Premier League season under new manager Xabi Alonso has been blunted after a defeat at Arsenal and subsequent losses to Hull City and Brentford.
The Blues began the campaign with a series of strong performances that lifted supporters’ expectations, signalling a potential turnaround after Alonso’s appointment earlier this summer.
The first setback arrived at the Emirates Stadium, where Arsenal secured a win over Chelsea, ending the visitors’ early momentum.
Further blows followed in the weeks that ensued, with defeats to Hull City and Brentford adding to the club’s difficulties and leaving them behind their early-season pace.
Alonso, a former Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich midfielder, now faces the task of correcting the team’s form as Chelsea look to regroup and climb back up the league table.
