Chelsea only have one remaining game before the World Cup break and it's a vital one for Graham Potter. The mood at the club has turned and worsened in recent weeks with no leeway given to the new manager.
The 47-year-old is navigating not only a tough run of fixtures but also injuries, a mid-season appointment and unprecedented congestion and intensity to the schedule, but that hasn't earnt him any special treatment after defeats to Brighton, Arsenal and now Manchester City.
The loss at the Etihad on paper is perhaps not unexpected, but when it comes off the back of a poor week, it has made for a serious enquiry as to his suitability for the role and the appointment in the first place.
