Given Chelsea's form, every match has been massive for Graham Potter of late but their five-match winless run has only heaped more pressure on the Blues ahead of their match against Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend. The Blues make the trip to north London sitting 10th in the Premier League table, 11 points behind Spurs who are in fourth position.
The pressure is building on the Chelsea boss and scrutiny over his position has been prevalent since their latest loss. That will only intensify if the Blues do not avoid defeat against Antonio Conte's side, who have not beaten Chelsea in the Premier League since 2018.
Potter has not shied away from the fact his team must improve, though some have been unimpressed with the caveats he has made. After two days off to rest his players, the time the 47-year-old head coach spends on the training pitches with Chelsea's bulging squad will be crucial.
