Graham Potter's next 10 Chelsea games will be played in 32 days, they include trips to Milan and Austria, and will largely determine how successful his first season in charge at Stamford Bridge can be.
It's been a tough start for the new manager given he was appointed three weeks ago but has only managed one game and was split from the majority of his squad for an international break shortly after arriving. With time now to prepare for his first league game in charge, this weekend against Crystal Palace, Potter will be in need of a fast start.
His squad face a challenge to reassert themselves in the league table, albeit with 32 matches still to go, and have a Champions League group to get out of that . None of these will be his biggest test though, according to former winger Pat Nevin.
