Chelsea are reportedly eyeing Fabio Capello as a possible replacement for Andre Villas-Boas.

Capello resigned as England manager this week over the FA's handling of the John Terry affair.

Speculation is rife at Stamford Bridge that Capello will replace Villas-Boas if Chelsea continue to struggle in the Premier League, according to The Sun.

"There are strong rumours that Capello is coming and it could be sooner rather than later," the paper quotes a Chelsea source as saying.

Chelsea are currently fourth in the Premier League with 43 points from 24 games.
