Chelsea suffered a surprise defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday evening at Stamford Bridge with the sack pressure returning to Blues boss Graham Potter. After three wins in one week, calls for him to be dismissed lessened, however, with just one point being secured by the Blues in their last two home games, calls for co-owner Todd Boehly to act have returned.
For the seventh time in 2023, the glaring problems in west London were evident once again as a toothless Chelsea attack were unable to find a way through a resolute Villa defence. Goals from Ollie Watkins and John McGinn condemned the Blues to defeat number 10 of the season.
Following the three points being won by Unai Emery's men, Villa are now above Chelsea in the Premier League table, with Chelsea dropping out of the top half. Alongside the attacking struggles, Potter left many confused with his tactical use of Reece James and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
