Paul Merson tells Graham Potter how to turn Chelsea fortunes around with one major change

Chelsea eased the pressure on Graham Potter on Saturday with a much-needed 1-0 win over Leeds. Wesley Fofana's second-half header handed the Blues a valuable three points after going six games without a win.

Potter found himself faced with severe pressure from supporters after last week's London derby defeat to Tottenham. The loss was the Blues ninth Premier League defeat of the season.

Whilst scoring has been one of Chelsea's most colossal issues this season - they have fewest goals of the Premier League top 11 - keeping the goals out at the other end have also been a problem. Keeping Leeds at bay was their 10th clean sheet under Potter, their first since the start of February.
