On Wednesday night, Graham Potter led Chelsea to victory for the second time in his third game in charge.
In what was a strong performance at Stamford Bridge, the Blues easily defeated AC Milan 3-0. The west Londoners were able to grab a crucial three points in Group E with to goals from Wesley Fofana, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Reece James.
Chelsea has now achieved back-to-back victories for the first time this season after defeating Crystal Palace 2-1 at the weekend. The last time they succeeded in doing so was in April, when they triumphed three times in a row over Southampton, Real Madrid, and Crystal Palace.
If Potter can manage to guide his side to a third win in just seven days on Saturday, then it really could kickstart Chelsea’s season and his tenure at the club. If the Blues can avoid conceding at the weekend, then it will be the first time they have kept back-to-back clean sheets since way back in February, where the Blues stopped Lille and Liverpool from scoring.
As well as the consecutive wins and clean sheet talk, Potter will be hoping to achieve something his predecessor Thomas Tuchel never could at Chelsea. Beat Wolves. In three matches in charge against the West Midlands side, Tuchel drew every game including the most recent one towards the end of last season.
A Romelu Lukaku brace looked like it would be enough for Chelsea to take all three points at Stamford Bridge, but a late Wolves fightback ensured the match ended as a draw. Tuchel was left a very frustrated man after the match as his hoodoo against Wolves continued.
