Chelsea press conference LIVE: Potter on his future, Leeds, Kante, Pulisic, more

Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of Graham Potter’s pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea’s clash against old foes Leeds United at Stamford Bridge.

It’s been another tough week for Potter following Sunday’s defeat at Tottenham. Chelsea are ensconced in tenth and have won just two of their previous 15 top-flight matches. The Blues' head coach has, unsurprisingly, come under significant pressure.

Potter - thus far - has retained the support of the Chelsea ownership group. But lose against Leeds and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday night, that faith will be tested to the absolute limit - and perhaps to breaking point.

Chelsea have been boosted by N’Golo Kante and Christian Pulisic stepping up their respective comebacks from injury this week. It’s unlikely either are ready to feature against Leeds after significant periods out but we will get the latest from Potter on the duo and all the other team news.

Our chief Chelsea correspondent Adam Newson is in position at the club’s training base in Cobham to bring you the very latest. There will also be plenty from across the football.london website before the Blues head coach arrives.

Live updates will appear below.

Potter is trying to remain confident and upbeat about the situation, though, with the club's owners – as of right now – still supportive of the man they appointed in September. "While results are what they are, I accept it [the pressure]," Potter said after losing to Tottenham at the weekend.

In any normal situation facing a team in the bottom three during a rotton run would often be the perfect opportunity to bounce back. For Chelsea right now it is just added pressure.

The scrutiny on Graham Potter, and to a lesser extent the squad at this current time, is immense. Every micro-action is being scrutinised, and every decision and choice is getting the full analysis treatment. This doesn't make things easier when preparing for a game.

But football.london has taken at how Chelsea can beat Leeds.
