Enzo Maresca has been warned that if he fails to win Chelsea's next two games he "will be gone".

The Italian saw the Blues lose yet again at the weekend as they gave up a 1-0 lead at Aston Villa to eventually lose 2-1. Maresca had made an instant impact at Stamford Bridge and, come Christmas, had the west Londoners sitting within touching distance of top spot.

Since then though their form has nosedived and Chelsea have gone from title contenders to top-four hopefuls. The Blues, since beating Brentford on December 15, have won just two of their ten games, which includes losses to the likes of Ipswich and Fulham.

The next assignments for the Blues are Southampton and then Leicester - who are both sat in the bottom three. Both games are at Stamford Bridge and Paul Merson insists anything less than six points will result in Maresca getting the boot.

Merson said on Sky Sports: "If they don’t win the next two games, the manager will be gone. They’re playing against two of the worst Premier League teams in I don’t know how long, Southampton and Leicester.

"So if they don’t win these two matches, he’ll be doing everything he can to hold on to his job. Chelsea have got to get in the Champions League. They need the Champions League to keep players like Cole Palmer as he will want to play in that competition.

“They will have to finish in the top five, otherwise I dread to think what’s going to happen. I just don’t see what the plan is. All the seven-year contracts and these players are not getting any better. How many of them have been a major success?”

One of Chelsea's directors recently came out and made it clear that they believed in the job Maresca was doing and he would, without doubt, get to see out the season in the dugout.

The current ownership structure in the capital has shown themselves willing to move on managers. Since arriving less than three years ago they've already axed Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Mauricio Pochettino.

Maresca is their fourth permanent boss and the ex-Leicester boss felt they deserved more from the game on Saturday, but bemoaned their lack of a clinical edge.

He said: "I don’t think we deserved to lose the game to be honest but in this league, you have to be clinical. The difference most of the time is inside the box. Unfortunately, at 1-0 up, we had some chances that we didn’t score and then the same at 1-1. In the end, anything can happen and unfortunately we lost the game."

恩佐·马雷斯卡已被警告，如果他未能在切尔西接下来的两场比赛中取胜，“他就会被解雇”。

这位意大利人在上个周末再次见证了蓝军的失利，他们在对阵阿斯顿维拉的比赛中丢掉了1-0的领先优势，最终以1-2告负。马雷斯卡曾在斯坦福桥立刻产生了影响，并且到了圣诞节时，他曾让这支西伦敦球队一度接近榜首。

然而，此后球队状态急转直下，切尔西也从争冠热门沦为仅争前四的希望。自12月15日战胜布伦特福德以来，蓝军在十场比赛中仅赢下两场，其中还包括输给伊普斯维奇和富勒姆的比赛。

接下来，蓝军将迎战南安普顿和莱斯特——这两支球队目前都位居积分榜倒数三名。两场比赛均在斯坦福桥进行，而保罗·梅森坚称，除非拿到至少六分，否则马雷斯卡就难保饭碗。

梅森在Sky Sports上表示：“如果他们接下来的两场比赛不获胜，主教练就会下课。他们将对阵目前英超中最差的两支球队——南安普顿和莱斯特，我不知道这样的局面还能持续多久。

“所以，如果这两场比赛都不胜，马雷斯卡就得想尽办法保住自己的工作。切尔西必须进入欧冠联赛，他们需要欧冠资格来留住像科尔·帕尔默这样的球员，因为他也希望能参加那个赛事。

“他们必须至少排进前五，否则我真不敢想会发生什么。我实在看不出有什么明确的计划。所有那些七年合约的球员并没有变得更好，有多少人真的取得了重大成功？”

近期，切尔西的一位董事公开表示，他们相信马雷斯卡所做的工作，并且毫无疑问他会看到赛季结束。

目前，首都的现有所有制结构已经显示出他们愿意更换主帅。自不到三年前入主以来，他们已经解雇了托赫尔、格雷厄姆·波特以及毛里西奥·波切蒂诺。

马雷斯卡是他们的第四任正式主帅，这位前莱斯特城主帅认为球队在周六的比赛中本应做得更好，但他也遗憾地指出球队缺乏致命一击的能力。

他说：“说实话，我不认为我们应该输掉这场比赛，但在这个联赛中，你必须非常果断。大多数时候，差距就在于禁区内。可惜，在1-0领先时我们有几次机会却没有转化，到了1-1时情况也一样。最终，任何事都有可能发生，而我们不幸输掉了比赛。”
