(Reuters) - Chelsea manager Graham Potter called on his side to be positive when they take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday as the pressure mounts on him to halt a dismal run of form.
A 2-1 defeat at Fulham on Thursday dealt another blow to their chances of qualifying for the Champions League, leaving them 10th in the Premier League standings and 10 points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester United, who have a game in hand.
"Then we have to try to be positive and move forward and take a home game on. It's another London derby against a team with dangerous players so we have to be good ourselves and prepare the team." The Portugal forward looked sharp, but his debut ended when he was shown a straight red card in the 58th minute for a reckless tackle on Fulham defender Kenny Tete.
