Chelsea will hope to avoid equalling a 94-year streak when they play host to Leeds United in the Premier League.

Graham Potter started his Blues reign with six wins and three draws from nine matches, but he has since only posted three victories in the most 17 outings in all competitions.

As a result, Chelsea sit in 10th position in the Premier League standings, 14 points adrift of Tottenham Hotspur who occupy the final Champions League spot.

Furthermore, the West Londoners require a turnaround against Borussia Dortmund to progress through to the Champions League quarter-finals, the German side leading 1-0 ahead of next week's second leg at Stamford Bridge.

Reports regarding Potter's long-term future have been conflicting, some saying that he has two matches to save his job and others insisting that he will not be judged until he has had a full pre-season with a less-bloated squad.

Nevertheless, should Chelsea wish to retain any realistic hope of challenging for the top four during the closing weeks of the season, a win over Leeds on Saturday afternoon feels imperative.

However, Chelsea head into an encounter with one of their fierce rivals looking to avoid matching an unwanted feat which last occurred in 1929.

Not since March of that year have Chelsea lost four matches in a row in all competitions without getting on the scoresheet.

In losing 1-0 to Dortmund on February 15, Potter took encouragement from the amount of opportunities that his side created at Westfalenstadion.

Since then, though, a 1-0 loss has come at home to bottom-placed Southampton in the Premier League, with that being followed by a tame 2-0 reverse in a London derby at Spurs last weekend.

Chelsea also need to avoid defeat to end any chance of matching or exceeding a run of six successive defeats last posted in 1993.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have failed to score more than once in any of their last nine top-flight fixtures, with the only time that they have gone more matches without registering at least two strikes also occurring in that year.
