Sacked Watford boss Marco Silva is under consideration at Chelsea.

Blues boss Antonio Conte has suffered a fall from grace since winning the title last season and the pressure is mounting after defeats to Bournemouth and Watford.

The Times says if there is another bad result, the Chelsea board could act and get rid of Conte and bring in a caretaker boss.

Silva has been named as a potential candidate to try and get the Blues back on track and finish the season strongly.

The Blues would also give the Blues more time to identify a long-term replacement with the likes of ex-Barcelona man Luis Enrique and Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri on their radar.

Conte could be looking for another job if his team do not get a result at home to West Brom tonight.
