"It’s always nice to win, that’s for sure. Everyone is happier when we do," Chelsea boss Graham Potter told reporters ahead of a huge clash with Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. The former Brighton man knows it's those victories that will quiet the noise surrounding doubts over his future at Stamford Bridge.
The pressure mounted on Potter came after a difficult run of form for the side since the turn of the new year, registering just a few wins since the end of the World Cup. Victory over Leeds has given some temporary relief, but the big challenge is to follow that up with a string of results.
With the Blues 10th in the Premier League and 11 points off of the top four, Champions League qualification looks a long shot. Their best chance may come in the competition itself if they were to win it, which isn't an impossibility for a side that have managed it before.
