Next Chelsea manager shortlist emerges as Graham Potter tipped to be sacked

Graham Potter is tipped to be the next manager sacked in the Premier League as an extensive shortlist is prepared for his replacement at Stamford Bridge. Despite just 24 games in charge Chelsea's 1-0 loss at home to bottom-placed Southampton has been the turning point for many with boos ringing out at half-time and full-time in the game.

James Ward-Prowse's free-kick was enough to secure the points for interim manager Ruben Selles, who now has as many wins in 2023 as Potter does. With just one clean sheet in 28 games there was still hope of turning the game around but miraculous misses and heroic defending mixed with more poor finishing saw Chelsea go goalless once more.

It is now one win in 10 for Potter - over 17th-placed Bournemouth - and just three in the past 15. It's a run of form that rivals the worst in memory even for supporters that can remember the pre-Roman Abramovich times.
