Graham Potter is likely to be made to wait once again for his debut Premier League match in charge of Chelsea, with this weekend's game against Liverpool highly likely to be postponed due to the Queen’s funeral.
Potter was appointed as the new Chelsea manager on Thursday following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel. His first press conference as Blues boss was postponed following the Queen’s death aged 96 last week, while Chelsea’s local derby against Fulham on Saturday was also pushed back as a mark of respect.
Potter will take charge of Chelsea for the first time for their Champions League match against Red Bull Salzburg at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening. But the following Premier League match against Liverpool, which is slated for broadcast on Sky Sports at 4.30pm on Sunday, has been plunged into doubt because of policing concerns.
