Graham Potter is up against it at Chelsea but the manager isn't under any illusions over the magnitude of his task. After joining from Brighton two months ago, the 47-year-old only has two more matches to get through before the winter World Cup brings some relative calm for him.
In an already unprecedented season, Potter was appointed less than 48 hours after Thomas Tuchel's shock sacking and has had to experience a fixture list turned up the maximum level with amplified levels of expectation and attention.
Despite a good start, two points from four league games and back-to-back defeats - including a 4-1 drubbing at Brighton - have left the club with a dark cloud hanging overhead as the World Cup approaches and Potter faces the task of winning over fans that have been left in a state of disillusionment.
