Chelsea were beaten once again in the West London derby on Thursday night as Graham Potter’s side were beaten 2-1 by Fulham at Craven Cottage to add to the pressure on the Blues manager.
The London club have now won just once in their last eight games and the season is turning very bleak for the Blues and their new owners.
Chelsea currently sit 10th in the Premier League and are out of both domestic cup competitions and that has led Blues fans to chant the names of Roman Abramovich and Thomas Tuchel in recent weeks.
Despite the London club’s recent form, the American owners will stick with Potter for now and continue to back the man they chose to replace Tuchel at the start of the season, says Fabrizio Romano.

Writing in his exclusive Daily Briefing column CaughtOffside, Romano has said that Potter’s job is safe for now and mentions that the Blues were also interested in Mauricio Pochettino after sacking Tuchel.
The transfer expert stated: “As of now, Chelsea are still protecting their manager Graham Potter. There are no changes to his position, this is since a few minutes after the loss to Fulham last night. There were contacts with both Mauricio Pochettino and Potter when Chelsea decided to replace Thomas Tuchel, but Potter was the top priority.”
The list of injuries and suspensions Potter has had to deal with so far this season will probably buy him time, but with Crystal Palace arriving at Stamford Bridge this weekend, the Chelsea boss needs to start getting results. .
