Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has warned Graham Potter that he would be sacked if Chelsea’s poor form continues.

Chelsea have registered just one win in our last 11 matches and Sunday’s 2-0 defeat to Tottenham was our third consecutive loss in a row.

When asked how Arsenal’s hierarchy reacted during his difficult time at the club and the comparisons with Potter’s current situation at Chelsea, Arteta said: “With me they were really supportive.

“But at the end you have to win football matches because you know that if the run continues that it is unsustainable.

“I knew I had to win against Norwich and win against Burnley, and then everything helps and the environment starts to get better, everybody is more confident and you can keep going. We depend on results, unfortunately.

“I always just focused on how to turn things around, how to make the team play better, to be more efficient, get players back because we had 11 players out of the squad in that period so we needed players back as quick as possible as well.

“When you have a close relationship with managers which I had in Spain, some in Italy, some here, of course you get in touch, sometimes they give you support like we all do when someone is going through a difficult [period]. Maybe not on the phone, but just at least a nice text of support.”
