Former Chelsea boss John Hollins has admitted that he 'fears' the club will not finish in the top five this season.

The Blues, who drew 1-1 in the FA Cup with Birmingham on Saturday afternoon, have failed to win any of their previous three league matches, and Hollins was pessimistic when questioned on their recent form.

"Watching the last two games, I fear for them. They are not going to finish in the top five," Hollins told talkSPORT.

Chelsea sit fifth in the Premier League table.
