But United looked significantly weaker without Maguire against Leeds last weekend, and after Lisandro Martinez\u2019s red card in that game, they will have just Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven as centre backs against us.<\/p>\n<p>If we can\u2019t exploit that at Stamford Bridge, we really are hopeless.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea are struggling as a team right now, and that means their players are struggling individually too, <a href=\"https:\/\/chelsea.news\/2026\/04\/chelsea-star-drops-premier-league-player-decline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\">as the stats show.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
