Chelsea have been warned that their place in the top four at the end of the season is at risk after an inconsistent start to their campaign. The Blues currently sit seventh after 13 games played, registering six wins so far in the Premier League under two different managers.
Thomas Tuchel started the campaign, but was dismissed after just a few games as the new ownership looked to hire someone that fit their vision for the club. That man ended up being Graham Potter, who joined from Brighton after impressing with the Seagulls in recent years.
With a squad in flux, the west London outfit have struggled so far, with their final match before the World Cup break against high-flying Newcastle offering a chance to end on a high note. The Magpies themselves are eyeing a top four finish, sitting third after rocketing up the league under Eddie Howe.
