    WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA?

    Mauricio Pochettino's side, who have managed to win just two out of their last five Premier League matches, will be next seen in action on April 15 against Everton in a league clash. Colwill is still fighting to get back to full fitness after suffering a toe injury, and may not be ready in time for the fixture against the Toffees.
