Chelsea stats

Thomas Tuchel’s side are hoping to improve on our Premier League record of two points out of 15 against ‘big six’ sides this season.

The Blues have lost four (Everton 0-1, Wolves 1-2, Arsenal 1-3, Leicester 0-2) and won one (Fulham 1-0) of our past five away games in the Premier League.

In Thomas Tuchel’s first two games in charge, Chelsea have had 33 shots, 13 of them on target, scored two goals, conceded a total of five shots, none of them on target.

Only Ederson (12) and Emiliano Martinez (10) have kept more clean sheets in the Premier League than Edouard Mendy (9).

Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso both scored their first goals of the season against Burnley taking the total number of different Chelsea players to score this season to 16. Azpilicueta has now scored under six different Chelsea managers/head coaches.
