Graham Potter has a lot to prove as Chelsea boss if he is to win over the Stamford Bridge faithful. Starting with Aston Villa on Saturday the boss is now entering his last stretch of the season but it is by no means a time to let off despite the league table.
With the side sitting 10th in the table and on course to record their worst-ever goalscoring year since the Premier League's inception, Potter hasn't cut a convincing figure for those used to watching the most charismatic and successful bosses in the world. The results hardly tell a better story.
The hope is that the trough is well and truly over now and the Blues can start to appear on the other side with some positivity. The three-game winning run threatened to blossom somewhat - even with two victories over relegation candidates - but drawing with Everton halted the cautious optimism.
