Chelsea boss Graham Potter is under heavy pressure after five winless Premier League games for the Blues.

According to Craig Burley, Potter could be sacked as Chelsea manager if results after the World Cup go against him despite the new Chelsea owners backing him at the moment.

“I think if he loses the first two or three games off the back of the World Cup, I think he could go,” Burley told ESPN.

“And I don’t mean I think he should go, I think he could go because I think the new consortium will panic. That’s kind of the feeling I get from him.”
