Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is scrambling to find a solution for his team's poor run of form.

The Blues have dropped to sixth on the Premier League table and were knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United on Monday.

Up next is Malmo in the Europa League, then Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, and Sarri admits he has no time to fix the problems in his side.

"As you know very well, it's not very easy because we have no time," he said. "But we are trying to solve our problems. It's not easy. Because, on the pitch, we have no time at the moment. But we are trying to talk with the players. We are trying to avoid some mistakes by video. But it's not easy because we have to play every three days. On the pitch, we have no time.

"I have to think we are able to improve, and able to improve immediately. The result is not all in a match. In the last match we played better, better and better, especially in the first half. We have to solve a big problem because we stayed in the other half for 75 minutes out of 90 and were not able to score. They only played 15 or 16 balls into our box and scored two goals. So we have to solve this problem: a problem of aggression and determination in both boxes."
