Chelsea owner Todd Boehly will reportedly keep the faith with Graham Potter, even if the club fail to make the top four.

Chelsea owner Todd Boehly will reportedly keep faith with manager Graham Potter even if they miss out on the Champions League places this season.

Thursday night's defeat to Manchester City left the club in 10th position in the Premier League, 10 points off the top four with West London rivals Brentford and Fulham above the Blues in the league table.

Previous owner Roman Abramovich employed a total of 14 managers in his two-decade stint as owner, however, The Mirror reports that Boehly believes that the former Brighton & Hove Albion man is the right person to lead the club to success, and is willing to back the 47-year-old with financial investment, so that he can make his mark on the playing squad.

Chelsea have lost four of their last eight matches, winning just one, and Potter will have to drastically improve that form to overhaul the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

The club are currently without 10 first-team players; Armando Broja, Mason Mount, Reece James, N'Golo Kante, Edouard Mendy, Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were all ruled out for the clash with Pep Guardiola's side, with Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic leaving the field during the contest.

The former Ostersunds FK manager was appointed in September on a five-year contract after the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel.
