"Premier League: Chelsea held by Liverpool in first game after Potter’s sacking"

" Premier League: Chelsea held by Liverpool in first game after Potter's sacking \r\n\r\nChelsea wasted a host of chances to beat Liverpool as the troubled Blues were held to a 0-0 draw on Tuesday in their first Premier League match since Graham Potter's sacking.\r\n\r\nPotter was axed on Sunday after the former Brighton manager's disastrous reign climaxed with a wretched home defeat against Aston Villa.\r\n\r\nChelsea are seeking their third permanent manager of the campaign, with Potter hired in September following Thomas Tuchel's shock dismissal.\r\n\r\nIn the meantime, Bruno Saltor, a member of Potter's backroom staff, made his managerial debut as Chelsea interim boss.\r\n\r\nBruno managed to coax a lively performance from Chelsea, but -- as was so often the case under Potter -- they paid the price for a lack of cutting edge.\r\n\r\nChelsea remain 11th, leaving them with an uncertain future despite the massive investment in new signings made by Chelsea owner Todd Boehly since he took over last year.\r\n\r\nLiverpool hardly looked much better as a third successive league game without a win damaged their faint hopes of finishing in the top four.\r\n\r\nEighth-placed Liverpool are seven points behind fourth-placed Tottenham in the race to qualify for the Champions League.\r\n\r\nChelsea and Liverpool finished in the top four and met in the FA Cup and League Cup finals last season, yet less than a year later they are languishing in mid-table amid turbulent campaigns.\r\n\r\nIn response to Liverpool's dismal 4-1 defeat at Manchester City on Saturday, Klopp dropped Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold as the Reds boss made six changes.\r\n\r\nIt was Chelsea who made the stronger start of the two troubled teams and Mateo Kovacic's shot was blocked on the line by Ibrahima Konate.\r\n\r\nReece James saw his fierce finish disallowed for offside against Enzo Fernandez, while Wesley Fofana was narrowly off target with a headed chance.\r\n\r\nAs in the other Premier League games on Tuesday, there was a first-half pause at the Bridge for Muslim players to break their Ramadan fast.\r\n\r\nChelsea's Kai Havertz dragged a good chance wide from N'Golo Kante's pass immediately after the restart.\r\n\r\nDarwin Nunez and Joe Gomez forced good saves from Kepa Arrizabalaga as Liverpool finally threatened just before half-time.\r\n\r\nKovacic blazed a glorious chance over soon after the interval, while Havertz's effort was disallowed for handball when the German's shot hit Liverpool keeper Alisson Becker and rebounded into the net off his arm.\r\n\r\nLeicester's first game since Brendan Rodgers' departure on Sunday ended in a 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa at the King Power Stadium.\r\n\r\nThe Foxes, led by caretaker bosses Mike Stowell and Adam Sadler after Rodgers' exit by \"mutual agreement\", have now gone seven league games without a win and sit second bottom of the table.\r\n\r\nOllie Watkins put Villa ahead in the 24th minute and although Harvey Barnes equalised after 35 minutes, Leicester's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was sent off in the 70th minute for a second booking.\r\n\r\nBertrand Traore's 87th-minute curler, his first goal for Villa since 2021, piled on the misery for Leicester.\r\n\r\nLeeds climbed out of the relegation zone with a 2-1 win against fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest at Elland Road.\r\n\r\nOrel Mangala bagged his first goal in English football to fire Forest ahead.\r\n\r\nBut Jack Harrison equalised eight minutes later with a close-range finish after Keylor Navas spilled Marc Roca's shot.\r\n\r\nLuis Sinisterra put Leeds in front in first-half stoppage time, cutting inside and curling his shot into the far corner.\r\n\r\nLeeds are two points clear of the relegation zone, while Forest are outside the bottom three on goal difference.\r\n\r\nThird-bottom Bournemouth remain in deep trouble after a 2-0 home defeat against Brighton.\r\n\r\nAlbion took the lead in the 28th minute through teenage forward Evan Ferguson's audacious backheel, with Julio Enciso's first goal for the club wrapping up the points in injury time.\r\n\r\n "
