Reports have claimed that Todd Boehly has decided he will be present at the Tottenham vs Chelsea game on Sunday.
According to the Evening Standard, the owner will be at the ground in person to view his side, with pressure rising on current manager Graham Potter.
The Englishman has overseen a run of just two wins in 14 games now, seeing them slumber in 10th in the Premier League.
They have also put themselves in a tough position to qualify for the Quarter-finals of the Champions League, after falling to defeat at the hands of Borussia Dortmund a week ago.
However, things reached a new low after defeat on Saturday. The Blues were defeated 1-0 at Stamford Bridge by Southampton, who currently sit at the bottom of the table.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, this has brought speculation in the media that Potter’s time at Chelsea could be coming to an end.
Boehly to attend Spurs game
All the signs suggest he has begun to lose the faith and patience of supporters in the stadium, with it looking a mammoth task to get the fans back on board.
However, the Evening Standard have claimed that the manager still has the backing of Boehly, who will be present for the London derby at the weekend.
Neutrals will surely be hoping for a game that matches the entertainment value of the reverse of this fixture.
Chelsea played superb in the fiery derby, which saw Thomas Tuchel sent off after the game as tempers flared throughout.
The game was notable for it being the last time N’golo Kante was seen on the pitch before his injury.
With him now being out since August, it is an undoubted relief to Potter that the Frenchman has returned to training ahead of the final few months of the campaign.
