Graham Potter believes he still has the support of Chelsea's players despite the club's dismal form – but the Blues head coach accepts he must get his ideas across better if there is to be an upturn in results.
Chelsea have won just two of their previous 15 Premier League matches, and that has resulted in Potter's side becoming ensconced in tenth place and closer to the relegation zone than the Champions League positions. There have been little indications of progress being made, highlighted by the fact only four goals have been scored since the turn of the year.
Potter has come under inevitable pressure and while he has retained the faith of the club's owners thus far, their faith is being severely tested. Defeat to Leeds United would be extremely damaging with a Champions League Round of 16 second leg against Borussia Dortmund to come. And the Chelsea head coach appreciates a positive result is required.
