Four questions Graham Potter cannot avoid ahead of pivotal Tottenham vs Chelsea clash

Chelsea take on Tottenham this weekend in search of claiming three points for the first time since beating Crystal Palace in January. There is no shortage of external pressure falling at the feet of Graham Potter with the Blues 11 points behind the Lilywhites and the club sitting in 10th position in the Premier League.

With no consistent upturn in form since the club's defeat to Brighton in October, there's been a familiar feeling around Chelsea results even with a new crop of stars having arrived in January. There has been an impressive defensive record to hold onto, only Manchester City and Newcastle United have conceded fewer goals in the league, but while new stars have brought some spark they have not turned around the club's fortunes at the opposite end of the pitch.

Supporters made their feelings clear after defeat against Southampton, and their boos will ensure that Potter is under scrutiny moving forwards. Ultimately performances on the pitch will dictate whether the Chelsea boss can be a success but there will be no shortage of questions awaiting the 47-year-old in his press conference on Friday afternoon.
