Chelsea confirm Graham Potter sack decision ahead of crucial Liverpool Premier League clash

Chelsea look to have made their Graham Potter sack stance clear following a turgid Premier League defeat at the hands of Aston Villa. Following another unsuccessful attempt to secure a victory at Stamford Bridge in the last few weeks, after a 2-2 draw with Everton, Potter has seen the pressure on his stay in west London mount significantly.

Six games in all competitions without a victory, stretching across January and February, handed co-owner Todd Boehly a major sacking decision. At that time, Potter was seemingly given a pivotal four days to keep his job with home clashes against Leeds and Borussia Dortmund on the horizon.

The Blues were able to win both games and thus allow Potter to breathe safely for at least another few weeks. However, further poor results has seen that pressure return, but Chelsea don't look to be acting instinctively by dismissing Potter.
