Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton says his old club is in crisis after last night's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

Frank Lampard's men have won just one of their last five Premier League games.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Sutton said: "Whether we like it or not, this is a totally different season for Frank Lampard.

"The pressure is on, he has spent the big money. You look at the changes that Frank made tonight and then you look at the changes Dean Smith made.

"What that tells us is that Frank has such a strong squad, with the players that came into the side, a really strong squad. But at this moment in time, they are a crisis club because they are under-performing.

"With the nature of this season and how tight it is, a couple of dodgy results and Chelsea are the latest team that needed to bounce back.

"They didn't do so and now the pressure will build. I think things are a little bit flat at this moment in time but I can't put my finger on it."
