In a frustrating period for both club and country, Mount's levels have dropped off and he has found himself with serious competition for a starting spot at both Chelsea and England. Mount was dropped for Thomas Tuchel's last league game in charge, a 2-1 victory over West Ham at the start of the month, after failing to score or assist in his five previous matches.

It's a barren run that has coincided with England faltering ahead of the winter World Cup and Chelsea parting with Tuchel, now bringing in Potter, and the new manager has been shown the way to keep Mount's form up.
