Potter confident Chelsea can still push for top 4 but says new signings need to gel

LONDON -- Chelsea head coach Graham Potter has said he remains "confident" his side can make a push to qualify for the Champions League next season, despite sitting nine points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.

Chelsea took their transfer spending under owner Todd Boehly above £500 million when they signed midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Benfica on deadline day, and he made his debut on Friday as they were held to a goalless draw against Fulham at Stamford Bridge. It was their third such result in their last six Premier League games.
