Ian Wright feels Chelsea have two \u2018must-win\u2019 games coming up in order to help save Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s job as head coach.<\/p>\n

Chelsea news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

The Argentine arrived at Stamford Bridge this summer, tasked with turning the club\u2019s fortunes around after an abysmal 12th-placed top-flight finish last term.<\/p>\n

But it has been a tough spell for Pochettino so far, with Chelsea winning just one of their opening six Premier League games so far this season.<\/p>\n

That sole victory came at home against Luton Town while the Blues have lost three matches, most recently to Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge this weekend.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the match, Pochettino urged Chelsea\u2019s hierarchy to \u2018give him time\u2019 as the former Tottenham manager looks to bounce back from a poor start.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are in Carabao Cup action on Wednesday and after that they face west London rivals Fulham and promoted side Burnley in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Wright feels it is crucial Chelsea pick up wins against Fulham and Burnley given that they are then due to play Arsenal, Brentford, Tottenham and Manchester City.<\/p>\n

\u2018You look at those [next 10 fixtures], a derby against Fulham and then Burnley, those are must-win games,\u2019 the Gunners legend said on The Kelly and Wrighty Show.<\/p>\n

\u2018You would worry for them [if they lose the next two]. You look at Chelsea and you think something is going to have to give soon. I think it\u2019s the next two games. If they don\u2019t do it, you have to start worrying for Pochettino.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m not sure if a new manager would come in and change it straight away but we have seen it with Ange Postecoglou, in five or six games he\u2019s got a style that everyone understands and we can all see. When we look at Chelsea, we still don\u2019t even know what their best XI is.\u2019<\/p>\n
