Chelsea news: Injury fears confirmed as Mikel Arteta offers Graham Potter support

Graham Potter is under mounting pressure as Chelsea manager and faces make or break matches to save his job.

The Blues suffered a dismal 2-0 defeat at the hands of London rivals Tottenham on Sunday, meaning it's now one win in 11 games since the turn of the year for Potter. Scoring just one goal in 10 hours of football, Todd Boehly and the club hierarchy are preparing to wield the axe if the Blues don't come through games against Leeds and Borussia Dortmund looking any brighter.

With supporters growing understandably impatient with Chelsea's dire run of form, more than 45,000 signatures have been attributed to a petition calling for Potter to be sacked. The ex-Brighton boss is pleading for more time and has the moral support of some of his rivals, but the clock is ticking.
