The Argentinean arrived at Stamford Bridge in January and has already made a sizeable impression in his eight Premier League games for us, dictating the tempo of our play from the middle of the park.

Unlike Fabinho, who usually sits at the base of a midfield three for Jurgen Klopp’s men, Enzo has been deployed in a two, usually alongside Mateo Kovacic.

That means he has the licence to operate in more advanced positions at times, so he can expect to spend plenty of time in the vicinity of the Brazilian, who recently brought up a double-century of games for Liverpool.

Variance going forward

Enzo’s attacking intent is evidenced by his average of 1.4 shots per game, in contrast to Fabinho’s 0.4 efforts. The latter is more accurate, hitting the target with one in three of his shots, compared to one in five for Enzo. Neither has scored yet this season.

Enzo already has two assists to his name, for Joao Felix and Kai Havertz’s goals away to West Ham and Leicester respectively. He averages 1.4 key passes a game, significantly more than Fabinho’s 0.4.

We've got Enzo in the middle

That is helped by the fact he spends more time on the ball than Fabinho, who gets and gives in a more traditional ‘water carrier’ role. The speed with which Liverpool like to get the ball forward is also a factor. Enzo averages 100 touches a game, Fabinho 54, and our man plays nearly twice as many passes overall, 74 to 41.

They’re equally accurate, at an impressive 88 per cent, with a majority of Enzo’s passes played in the opposition half, and a majority of Fabinho’s in his own. Enzo averages just under one successful dribble a game, further proof of his desire and ability to get Chelsea up the pitch.

Defensively, the duo are pretty evenly matched. Only average tackles won significantly separates them, with Enzo successful with twice as many a game (3.4 to 1.7) as Fabinho on average.

The Brazilian wins possession (0.6 to 0.5 times a game) and makes more clearances (0.9 to 0.8) fractionally more often than Enzo, who ranks better for interceptions made (1.3 to 1) and total duels won (6 to 3.3).
