Mauricio Pochettino is on stand-by to take over as Chelsea manager should Graham Potter be axed from his post in the Stamford Bridge hot-seat.
The former Tottenham boss has been out of work since he was sacked by Paris Saint-Germain last summer and has been touted as the perfect successor to Potter if he falls short of expectations in West London. The ex-Brighton boss is under increasing pressure amid Chelsea's terrible run of form, with the Blues having lost five out of their last seven and eliminated from both domestic cup competitions.
Last Sunday's 4-0 defeat by Manchester City was undoubtedly Potter's lowest point as Chelsea boss so far, with the travelling Blues faithful turning on their manager and chanting for his predecessor Thomas Tuchel.
