Chelsea boss Graham Potter maintains he has the support of the club's owners but accepts he is responsible for recent poor results.
Potter's hopes of turning around Chelsea's form have not been helped by the news defender Thiago Silva is out for six weeks with a knee injury.
"There is support," Potter said of the club's owners.
"Of course I've spoken to them, but I am not hiding behind that. Results haven't been good enough - I'm responsible.
"You accept the criticism and noise, my job is to prepare the team, stay focused and try to win.
