When Chelsea defeated Liverpool 6-3 a fortnight ago, no-one would imagine that two games later Emma Hayes’s side would fail to find the back of the net and be facing a confidence crisis.

Yet here we are, last week’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in the FA Cup final was followed by a 2-0 defeat at home to unbeaten Manchester City on Thursday night.

The league’s most fearsome foursome have struggled to find any form in the two outings and this latest defeat has started to raise questions about how good this team really is.
