Todd Boehly will not axe Graham Potter if he fails to deliver a top-four finish at Chelsea.
The Blues boss, who was only appointed in September, is facing a difficult period in west London, which was only worsened by Thursday night's defeat by Manchester City. The loss leaves Chelsea languishing in tenth - 10 points outside the top four with neighbours Brentford and Fulham above them.
Potter made the step up to the two-time European champions following his impressive work at Brighton, but is still looking to get a tune out of his side. Recent form does not make for good reading: Chelsea have won just one of their last eight games, losing four in that time.
