What happened. Chelsea fell to 10th in the Premier League after a defeat to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, extending Xabi Alonso's winless league run to three games. The Blues have not won in the top flight since the end of August.

• Chelsea led early in defeats to Arsenal and a draw with Hull City
• Only a point separates them from the bottom half
• Alonso now has around two weeks at Cobham before the next fixture

Alonso will use the international break to work with key players at Cobham before Chelsea return to action.
