GRAHAM POTTER has the WORST record of any Chelsea manager in the Premier League.
And it could soon get worse for the under-pressure gaffer as he prepares for a tough run of games.
Potter’s Blues slumped to a dismal defeat against bottom feeders Southampton on Saturday – his sixth loss in 17 games.
Of those matches, just five have been wins.
And Potter has only managed to pick up two victories in his last 14 league outings.
That leaves him with a dismal win percentage of just 29.4 per cent – lower than any other manager during Chelsea’s time in the Prem.

Even misfits like Rafa Benitez, Luiz Felipe Scolari and Andre-Villas Boas recorded better win percentages during their spells at the helm.

And Potter also finds himself behind Chelsea’s calamitous British trio of David Webb, Glenn Hoddle and Ian Porterfield.
