Chelsea's five reasons for not sacking Graham Potter as Todd Boehly under pressure to act

Chelsea manager Graham Potter has come under even more pressure after the Blues' latest defeat, but owner Todd Boehly is keeping the faith for a number of key reasons.

Potter's team were beaten 1-0 by bottom-of-the-table Southampton on Saturday, with James Ward-Prowse scoring the winner. Last season's third-place finishers are winless in four league games, scoring just once in that run, and lost against Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash.

Former Brighton boss Potter was appointed by Boehly in September, with the owner acting quickly after the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel. Boos rang out after the latest defeat, but the Blues' owner is not budging - at least not yet.
