Chelsea are bottom of the London league.

The title contenders currently boast the worst record in London derbies this campaign with a measly three points from five games.

Former West Ham boss Alan Curbishley told the London Evening Standard: "It has affected their title challenge and they will look back on the defeat to Tottenham last month in particular and think that is what cost them.

"It has surprised me that Chelsea have struggled against London clubs as much as they have. I never thought they'd be bottom of that mini-League."
