Graham Potter faces the first of two must-win matches this week as Chelsea host Leeds in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have lost their last three matches and are without a win in six. Their miserable run of form continued with a 2-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.
It piles the pressure on Potter ahead of a crunch week, with Chelsea hosting Leeds today and then Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 clash.
Leeds boss Javi Gracia steered his side to victory over Southampton in his first game in charge last Saturday. Leeds remain in trouble in 17th but defeated Chelsea in the reverse fixture earlier this season and another victory today would leave Potter on the brink.
