Sarri's Job On The Line

Is Maurizio Sarri's job on the line?

Football insiders believe it is.

Chelsea is on a down slide.

The team was humiliated, losing 6-0 to Manchester City almost two weeks ago.

Then, Chelsea lost to Manchester United 2-0 in the fifth round of the F.A. Cup, eliminating the team from the tournament.

What started out promising for Chelsea is becoming a disaster.

There's a really good chance Sarri won't be back next season.


Speaking of the F.A. Cup, here are the quarter-final matches:

Swansea verses Manchester City,

Watford verses Crystal Palace,

Wolves verses Manchester United,

Millwall verses Brighton.

Wolves vs. Man U. is the match to watch.

With both teams playing really good this season, the match has the makings of a classic showdown.

Finally, Atletico Madrid upset Juventus in Champions League action yesterday, winning 2-0.
