Former Premier League goalkeeper Tim Howard has admitted Graham Potter faces the sack as Chelsea manager following Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Southampton.
The Blues are now five games without a win and have suffered five defeats in their previous nine games. James Ward-Prowse produced another moment of magic from a set-piece with a superb free-kick late in the first half.
Losing to the Premier League's bottom side has compounded the pressure on Potter, with Chelsea now embarking on their worst run of form since 1995. The Englishman is now the new favourite to be sacked after losing his ninth game in charge, overtaking Bournemouth’s Gary O’Neil.
