Chelsea's performance against Watford may very well mark the end of Antonio Conte's term as the Blues' boss. The Italian manager hasn't been able to imprint the same ferocity that led them to the 2016-17 title, and Monday's loss handed him his biggest defeat since he took the job at Stamford Bridge.
Things haven't gone Conte's way in the most recent weeks, as general numbers show. The Blues have lost three of their last four competitive games, which may be shocking to some, considering that they had only lost two of their previews 25 outings, according to ESPN Datos.
Conte also broke a streak with Chelsea that no other coach had to endure. Even Mourinho escaped such an embarrassment when he was about to get sacked.
3 - Chelsea have lost consecutive Premier League games by a margin of 3+ goals for the first time since October 1995 (1-4 vs Man Utd and 0-3 vs Blackburn). Humbled.

If that wasn't enough, Watford has somewhat become a rather complicated team for Conte since he took over, making his defensive skills shake every time he's faced them.

Will Conte be out of a job on Tuesday? We'll have to wait and see if Roman Abramovich has a bit more patience than he's shown before.
