Graham Potter in startling Chelsea confession as Todd Boehly's verdict revealed on under-fire boss

Chelsea boss Graham Potter insists that he isn't the problem at Stamford Bridge - despite their 1-0 home loss to bottom-of-the-table Southampton leaving them 10 points adrift of the top four in the English Premier League.

Potter was brought in after former boss Thomas Tuchel was stunningly sacked in mid-September after a relatively mediocre - but by no means poor - start to the campaign. Potter's impressive job at Brighton and Hove Albion saw the Seagulls go from yearly relegation candidates to comfortable top-half material, alerting the club's money-laden owner Todd Boehly to make a move for his services.

But despite paying a record £22m release clause for the Solihull-born manager, Chelsea have won just five Premier League games under his guidance - and three of those came in Potter's first three games. With just two league wins from 14 matches since, a loss in the Champions League knockout stages and being dumped out of both cups in the first round possible to put the icing on the cake, the future is looking bleak for Potter.
