Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has explained why Chelsea fans need to lower their expectations.

The Blues head into Sunday afternoon’s game against Aston Villa having played five games, scoring five goals, conceding five goals and with five points on the board.

According to Chelsea head coach Pochettino, Chelsea fans will need to lower their expectations because this isn’t the Chelsea team that won the Champions League or Premier League years ago.

Pochettino said: “We should win every game because we are Chelsea? Yes but we are not the Chelsea that won the Champions League or Premier League.

“We need to accept that it’s a project. An idea, but that we are going to build something for the future with time.”
