NO LONGER THE BLUES AS POTTER IS STILL STANDING

GRAHAM POTTER admitted a weight has been lifted off his shoulders by Chelsea’s upturn in form and joked about Elton John’s I’m Still Standing now being on his playlist. Potter insisted during the week that the music he was listening to had not changed after Chelsea stopped the rot with last week’s league win over Leeds. But asked after his side’s victory in the Champions League last 16 against Borussia Dortmund, Potter said: ‘I’m still standing, eh?’ His Chelsea future was in doubt before the Leeds game, and ahead of today’s trip to Leicester, Potter added: ‘Yes, in some ways (a weight has been lifted). It’s not something I get too bogged down with. I am the same as every Chelsea fan — it’s better if you win.’
