There aren't many ways that football is being kind to Graham Potter but every cloud needs a silver lining right now. The manager is under immense pressure to turn the ship around at Stamford Bridge and to fix a run of no wins in six matches.
Outside of that there has been just one win in 11 games with four goals scored, since November the Blues are in true relegation form. That hasn't yet convinced co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital to part ways with their asset but questions are being asked.
Now, with two games coming up at home, and five of the next six all being at Stamford Bridge, Potter has a small bit of respite. His side have a chance to amend for their failures so far this season. It may be considered as the least they can do in some circumstances.
