Sarri has openly criticised his squad this season, saying they are hard to motivate following their performances over regaining a Champions League spot this campaign.

Chelsea captain Azpilicueta admitted: "It is one of the worst nights in my career. It is difficult to explain what happened.

"We are conceding a lot of goals and we cannot accept that. All I can do is apologise to the fans because it is not acceptable."

Sarri has a chance of taking revenge against Man City in their EFL Cup final later this month after the match that he is worried about the performance of his team.

He said on Sunday: "You are asking me [about] something which is not my job. I am worried about our performances, not about the club. You'd have to ask the club.

"I want to study, I want to understand. I do my best and the players do their best. For the moment I have to say only sorry."
