Chelsea caretaker manager Bruno Saltor accepts he's a dead man walking.

Bruno has stepped up to take charge after Sunday's sacking of manager Graham Potter.

Ahead of tonight's clash with Liverpool, the former Brighton captain refused to discuss whether he wants the job full-time or whether he would work under a new manager.

"It's the club's decision and they asked me to step up and be professional, and that's what I'm doing," he said, with it accepted his relationship with Potter is likely to see him depart when the new manager is hired.

"Chelsea are trying to do a long project, as everyone knows. Graham was part of it and we were part of it.

"I don't think the position of the club has changed."
