I enjoy it – Mauricio Pochettino happy with life at Chelsea despite poor results

The Argentinian saw his side thumped 5-0 at the Emirates Stadium by the Premier League leaders on Tuesday, a lifeless display that came three days after they were knocked out of the FA Cup by City, confirming the club's third consecutive campaign without major domestic or European silverware. Chelsea are ninth in the table and require a strong finish if they are to avoid missing out on European qualification for a second year in a row, beginning with Saturday's trip to play fourth-placed Aston Villa. Not too many coaching staff can do this. Pochettino could be without as many as 12 players for the trip to Villa Park, with Raheem Sterling and Carney Chukwuemeka the latest injury doubts.
