Chlesea boss Antonio Conte is fast losing support inside the club.

The Sun says Conte is coming under increasing boardroom scrutiny after Chelsea's poor start to the season.

And Stamford Bridge officials have even taken to predicting — correctly — which excuse Conte will use to explain his side's woes.

The Blues' title-winning boss is starting to feel the heat again after back-to-back league defeats.

Blues technical director Michael Emenalo, the man in charge of player recruitment, was called to a post-match meeting after Wednesday's 3-3 Champions League draw with Roma and did not arrive home until nearly 3am on Thursday.

After the 1-0 home loss to Manchester City on September 30, one senior Blues executive said Conte would use “fixture congestion" as an excuse.
