Villas-Boas faces sack if Chelsea fail to make top four

Andre Villas-Boas is fighting for his job at Chelsea. The Sunday Mirror says there are worrying splits in the Stamford Bridge camp.

Frank Lampard has been ­repeatedly left on the bench and ­senior officials ­believe failure to secure a top-four finish will lead to AVB's ­dismissal this summer.

Others are questioning his appointment in the first place.

Although Chelsea appear to be in a period of transition Blues fans are becoming agitated by Chelsea's inconsistent form and failure to compete for the title this season.

Chelsea go into the home clash with Manchester United today trailing Premier League leaders Manchester City by 15 points.

AVB insists he retains the support of Russian owner Roman Abramovich.
