Chelsea have been a shadow of themselves in recent weeks in the Premier League after failing to win a game in their last five matches. Potter led his team to a defeat against Newcastle United, making it a third consecutive league defeat ( Brighton, Arsenal, Newcastle United).
This is the first time Chelsea is losing three consecutive games in the Premier League since November 2015. Mourinho suffered three defeats against West Ham United, Liverpool and Stoke City during his second spell at the Stamford Bridge club.
