Graham Potter gets unwanted distraction ahead of AC Milan clash amid uncertain Chelsea future

It's a little like groundhog day for Graham Potter. The footballing cliché would always state that the next game is the most important, but one week on from maybe one of the biggest victories in his career to date and it will be largely in vein if Chelsea don't get something from San Siro tonight.

The new boss was tasked with getting a tune from his players in the Champions League at Stamford Bridge in the first game of the decisive double-header, and Chelsea didn't disappoint, walking over AC Milan to win 3-0 in a dominant display.

With just four points from the first three games though, it's still not plain sailing. Chelsea will need at least one point from the away trip this evening to ensure they are best placed to finish in the top two of the group. Much like RB Salzburg was Potter's biggest game, and Crystal Palace was also decisive, AC Milan at home was huge but now the away tie is almost certainly the biggest test. That's the expectation at Chelsea, to win every game.
