Chelsea boss Graham Potter has insisted his players must focus on one game at a time in the hope they can impact the Premier League top four. Heading into the clash against Leicester, the Blues sit 10th in the table and are 11 points off Tottenham, who occupy the final Champions League qualification spot.
Two positive results in the last week should not cloud the fact that Chelsea have endured a testing 2022/23 season in all four competitions. Wins against Leeds and Borussia Dortmund, though, will undoubtedly give Potter and his players some momentum ahead of an important few weeks which see the Blues take on Leicester today (Saturday) before welcoming Everton and Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge.
The focus of Manchester City and Arsenal will be on the title race, with third-placed Manchester United seven points away from dropping out of the top four. Based on that, there is likely to be just one spot up for grabs and it will likely be contested between Newcastle, Liverpool and Tottenham.
