Graham Potter has numerous concerns that will likely keep him very busy over the World Cup break with Chelsea not in action until the resumption of the Premier League on Boxing Day. The former Brighton manager has come under heavy criticism for recent displays, but he will have six weeks to decide on a tactical approach for 2023 and work closely with those not heading to Qatar.
Along with the three league losses in a row, Chelsea also lost to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday where they were unable to score. Armando Broja, who started against City, also got the nod for Saturday's fixture but he struggled to make any impact, before being replaced by Kai Havertz in the 73rd minute.
