Chelsea fans online are fearing the worst after manager Thomas Tuchel was adjudged Premier League Manager of the Month for the month of October. Blues fans fear the curse of Premier League Manager of the Month could strike on Thomas Tuchel yet again.

The last time the German tactician won this award was back in March. Immediately after that, the Blues suffered a shock 5-2 defeat at the hands of West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League. Chelsea are scheduled to face Leicester City following the international break. Despite their lowly position in the standings, Brendan Rodgers' side are a difficult prospect to face.

Many fans took to Twitter to recollect the last time Thomas Tuchel won the award, with most of them wary of their next fixture. Here are some of the best tweets:

Loyal fans do have a small reason to worry about Tuchel winning the Premier League Manager of the Month award. Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Nuno Espirito Santo won it in August and was sacked a couple of months later.

It is worth noting that the Blues have already dropped points in their first match of November, a 1-1 draw at home to Burnley.

Chelsea are currently at the top of the Premier League

Despite dropping points against Burnley before the international break, Chelsea are still comfortable at the top of the Premier League standings. Thomas Tuchel's side have amassed 26 points from their first 11 games in the league.
