The pressure is slowly building on new Chelsea manager Graham Potter after his side suffered their third successive Premier League defeat at the hands of Newcastle on Saturday. Chelsea have not lost three league games in a row since 2015, but were able to set a new date for that record with another lacklustre display at St James' Park.
Following the defeat, the Blues will be eighth at Christmas as the Premier League pauses for the World Cup, eight points off Spurs in fourth and 16 points away from league leaders Arsenal, leaving the Chelsea fanbase torn over who is at fault for the Blues' poor recent form and performances.
Todd Boehly made the decision to sack Thomas Tuchel very abruptly after Chelsea entered some poor form, although it is understood there was a breakdown in their working relationship prior to that, but the American could do the same to Potter.
