Javi Gracia's honest advice to Graham Potter as Leeds United boss looks to crank up Chelsea pressure

Javi Gracia has told Chelsea boss Graham Potter that 'only results' will get Blues fans off his back ahead of Leeds United's clash at Stamford Bridge this weekend.

Potter's side have won just two of their last 15 matches in the Premier League and the 47-year-old has come under intense pressure from vocal Blues fans who want to see him sacked by new owner Todd Boehly.

However, reports claim that the American is still backing Potter despite the torrid run of results recently but after spending over £350million in the January transfer window, many still believe their current spot of 10th in the league table is not good enough.

The Chelsea chief has come out in recent weeks detailing death threats that have been sent to him and his family by fans, and how his mental health has taken a turn for the worse since taking the job at Stamford Bridge.

However, the Whites boss highlighted that while he's a big fan of Potter, there is only one way that he'll be able to bring the fans back on his side.

"The only way you can change the different opinions about you is with results, it's the only way," Gracia said in his pre-match press conference this afternoon.

"What I can say is my opinion about Graham Potter and my opinion is fantastic. He's a fantastic manager, and I wish him all the best, I wish all the managers the best.

"But of course, in this game, I'm trying to win."
