Jamie Carragher makes Graham Potter admission after 'shock' timing prior to Liverpool clash

Jamie Carragher has expressed his shock at the timing of Graham Potter's sacking as Chelsea manager ahead of their clash against Liverpool but insists he isn't surprised.

The 47-year-old was relieved of his duties at Stamford Bridge after just six months in charge on Sunday night. Their decision came exactly 48 hours before the Reds were due to step out against the west Londoners.

Potter was replaced by Bruno Saltor, former Brighton & Hove Albion full-back who the former Seagulls boss brought to the capital after being headhunted. His final game for the Londoners came after they were beaten 2-0 by Aston Villa which saw them slip into the bottom half of the Premier League table at the expense of Unai Emery's side.
