Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has admitted that his team's season is "fucked" as they have dropped to 16th in the Premier League table after 12 games.

Jose Mourinho's side stormed to the title in the 2014-15 campaign, but they are now 15 points adrift of leaders Manchester City and 13 points off the final Champions League spot.

Fabregas does not seem optimistic about his team's season as they have claimed just three wins, recorded two draws and suffered seven defeats.

In an interview with Marca, Fabregas said: "The season is fucked. Things aren't working out and the results aren't doing our performances justice. We're playing better but aren't having any luck.

"When things are going your way, you flick the ball with your heel and it flies into the top corner, whereas now every piledriver is going off target. Either way, we need to get back to winning ways sooner rather than later."

Chelsea will face Norwich City at Stamford Bridge this Saturday.
