Chelsea FC stats leaders in the Premier League 2023/24.

Which Chelsea players have impressed the most this season?

Chelsea has improved their game after a disastrous start to the season, which means they may have to chase a top-four spot for the rest of the season. However, they are undefeated in the last 4 matches they have played, with the most recent being a 2-2 draw at home against Arsenal, a game in which it looked like they would take all three points for a long time. As mentioned, this season's start has been far from expectations, but we have taken a closer look at the team's statistical leaders, nonetheless.

Players with most goals in the Premier League: 
◉ Raheem Sterling (3)
◉ Mykhaylo Mudryk (2)
◉ Nicolas Jackson (2)

Players with most assists in the Premier League: 
◉ Conor Gallagher (2)
◉ Malo Gusto (2) 
◉ Ben Chilwell (1) 

Based on the stats, it's clear to see where the problems have been this season, and it's on the offensive front. 13 goals in 9 games are not good enough and having your top scorer with only 3 goals is insufficient if you want to compete at the top. Jackson has not had the start they were hoping for, so many Chelsea fans are likely looking forward to the new acquisition, Nkunku, being ready to play again.

Enzo Fernandes and Conor Gallagher are two workhorses in the central midfield. There hasn't been much creativity from either of them, but it must be acknowledged that they fight like warriors on the field, as can be seen in the following stats:

◉ Counter pressing actions/ Enzo Fernandez (21) 
◉ Through balls/ Enzo Fernandez (10) 
◉ Interceptions/Conor Gallagher (16)
◉ Tackles/ Conor Gallagher (15) 

Defensively, the team has been solid, conceding 9 goals in 9 games is commendable, so credit to the defense, which has seen quite a few changes due to numerous injuries. Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has performed well, even when expectations weren't high when he was signed from Brighton this summer. He, along with the defense, has kept 3 clean sheets.
