Chelsea on a downward spiral, warns Wright-Phillips

Chelsea are in danger of seeing their season unravel if their "downward spiral" continues, according to the club's former winger, Shaun Wright-Phillips.

Antonio Conte's side have seen their lead at the top of the Premier League cut from 10 points to four with only six matches left to play.

"In a Premier League race it's never over until it's over," Wright-Phillips told 888sport.

"At one stage it was an 11-point gap and now it's down to four points so that is nerve-wracking for the players. As we would say, it's 'squeaky bum time'.

"It could be that they're on a downward spiral. As big as the characters are in that dressing room I still think there will be a spell where they might get nervy if Tottenham keep going as they are."
