Chelsea suffered their sixth Premier League defeat of the season at Stamford Bridge against Pep Guardiola’s side. After a cagey first half, City broke the deadlock through Riyad Mahrez, who converted a cross from fellow substitute Jack Grealish in the 63rd minute.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Sutton said that the west London side seemed miles off their best against City. He elaborated:

Sharing his thoughts on the Blues’ tumultuous season, Sutton added:

Raising doubt over Potter’s tenure in London, Sutton concluded:

Since his appointment as Blues boss, Potter has helped Chelsea to eight wins, four draws and six losses in 18 games across competitions.

The Blues have won just once in their last six games across competitions.

Chelsea aim to add more firepower to misfiring squad in winter transfer window

Earlier this summer, Chelsea signed a whopping nine players to bolster their ranks after a timid season. They signed the likes of Raheem Sterling, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella and Kalidou Koulibaly for a combined sum of over £250 million.

Due to their frailties, the Blues have finalised three permanent deals in the winter window. The club have added Benoit Badiashile from Monaco, David Datro Fofana from Molde and Andrey Santos from Vasco da Gama for a combined fee of around £57 million.

The Blues are tenth in the Premier League with 25 points from 17 games, a massive ten points off fourth place (Manchester United).
