Graham Potter’s job could be on the line as Chelsea look to overturn a 1-0 deficit in the second leg of their last 16 showdown against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The German side boast a small advantage after Karim Adeyemi scored the only goal in the first leg at Signal Iduna Park.
Potter is under immense pressure at Chelsea and he could be given his marching orders if the Blues suffer a heavy defeat and exit the Champions League.

Chelsea v Dortmund prediction
The pressure is on Chelsea and Graham Potter to get a positive result to book their place in the Champions League quarter-finals.
However, due to the Blues needing to attack, Dortmund could punish them and pick them off on the counter attack. Adeyemi’s goal was a perfect example of that in the first leg.
It’s hard to see either team dominating so a draw — and Dortmund progressing — seems likely.
Our prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Dortmund (6/1 at bet365)
