Chelsea stats

Our defeat to Man City in our last Premier League home game was only our second at Stamford Bridge this season in 15 matches (eight wins, five draws).

We have only lost two home games in all competitions in the last 21, winning 14 of them.

Only Liverpool (37), Man Utd (36) and Leicester (35) have scored more Premier League goals than Chelsea this season (33).

Mason Mount is creating a chance on average every 32 minutes in the Premier League this season. That is the best ratio by an Englishman to play at least five games in a season for the Blues since Frank Lampard in 2009/10 (one every 28 mins).

Only Ederson (10) and Emiliano Martinez (9) have kept more clean sheets in the Premier League than Edouard Mendy (7).

We play Barnsley away in the fifth round of the FA Cup having already played them in the Carabao Cup earlier in the season. It will be the 12th time we’ve played the same team in both domestic cup competitions in the same season.
