BBC Sport are reporting that Antonio Conte will not be sacked as Chelsea boss in the wake of Monday night's 4-1 defeat at Watford.

It is understood his position has not been discussed in the wake of last night's defeat, since when Conte has given his players three days off.

Sources at Stamford Bridge are pointing to the fact Chelsea remain in the top four, and are still in the Champions League and FA Cup as reasons not to make a change at the present time.
