Chelsea have largely impressed since Potter replaced Thomas Tuchel in the Stamford Bridge hot-seat but suffered their first defeat under the former Brighton boss on Saturday.
Potter would have hoped to enjoy a better return to the Amex Stadium but saw his Chelsea side beaten 4-1 as the Blues slipped three points outside of the top-four places.
Potter made two changes to the Chelsea team that beat RB Salzburg in the Champions League in midweek, with deadline-day signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang dropping out of the side.
