The pair of Iberian internationals are both in their first few months of Premier League football, having completed moves to England during the January transfer window to add creativity and threat going forward.

Joao Felix moved to Chelsea on loan from Atletico Madrid and seems to have taken to life at Stamford Bridge quickly, with all nine of his Premier League appearances so far coming from the start. They have usually been in a wide role within a front three, although we did see him operating as a No.10 in a two-man strike force alongside Kai Havertz in our last match against Liverpool on Tuesday evening.

Sarabia joined Wolverhampton Wanderers from Paris Saint-Germain during the winter transfer window, having been part of Spain’s World Cup squad the previous month. A playmaker who can also operate on the wing, he has also made nine Premier League appearances so far, although three of those came from the bench, meaning he has played fewer minutes than Joao Felix (563 to 695).

Going for goal

So far, it seems that Joao Felix carries the biggest goal threat of the two, as the Portuguese forward has found the net twice since joining the Blues, opening the scoring in a pair of draws, away at West Ham United and home against Everton, although he can count himself very unlucky not to have added to that tally having been denied several times by the woodwork and VAR.

Sarabia has just the one Premier League goal to his name, which also came in London, giving Wolves the lead in a 1-1 draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage. So both these two players have a habit of breaking the deadlock with the first goal, but will we see either of them score their first Premier League goal outside of the capital at Molineux this weekend?

Joao Felix would seem the most likely of the two to manage that, as he has tested the goalkeeper more than twice as often, managing 12 shots on target to Sarabia’s five, although part of that is down to the Portuguese international’s more frequent efforts, as the Spaniard is closer behind in accuracy with 50 per cent of his shots finding the target, to 60 per cent for Joao.

Creative force

That willingness to have a go demonstrates the more direct and forceful nature of Joao Felix’s game, eager to go for the opposition and put them on the back foot, compared to the more patient play of Sarabia. That shows up most strikingly in Joao’s 20 successful dribbles as he drives at the defence, where the Wolves man has just one in his nine games so far.

However, while Joao seems to carry to most direct threat, Sarabia’s passing-focused approach helps him edge things when it comes to providing chances for his team-mates.

Although Joao has a better passing accuracy, finding a team-mate 83 per cent of the time overall compared to 78 per cent, it seems Sarabia is more willing to take a risk with his passing in attacking situations, in the same way our No.11 does with his running on the ball, as when just passes in the opposition half are taken into account the margin widens noticeably, with 75 per cent accuracy for Joao and 63 per cent for Sarabia.

That habit of looking for the killer pass gives the Spaniard five successful crosses from wide positions which have found a Wolves team-mate, or 32 per cent, compared to none for Joao Felix. Sarabia also has the edge in chances created, with nine key passes to Joao’s six.
