Here are the list of matches Chelsea must win to save Pochettino job – Ian Wright
Ian Wright, a legendary figure associated with Arsenal, holds the belief that Chelsea is facing two crucial matches against Fulham and Burnley, which are deemed as “must-win” games if they aim to support the job security of their manager, Mauricio Pochettino.
Pochettino took over at Stamford Bridge this summer with the task of reviving Chelsea’s fortunes following a disappointing 12th-place finish in the Premier League last season.
However, the current season has presented challenges for Pochettino. His team has managed to secure only one victory in their initial six Premier League matches.
Recently, Pochettino’s squad suffered a 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa in a home match over the weekend.
Chelsea is scheduled to face Fulham on October 2 and Burnley on October 7, and Wright emphasizes the importance of achieving victories against these two opponents. He expresses growing concern for Pochettino, stating that if Chelsea were to lose these upcoming matches, it could become a worrying situation for the manager.
Wright shared his thoughts on “The Kelly and Wrighty Show,” highlighting that Chelsea’s next two games, particularly against Fulham and Burnley, could be pivotal for Pochettino’s future at the club.
