Chelsea have got so much talent in their squad but stats show they are considerably better when Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson start together.

The Blues have an array of attacking talent and added Joao Felix, Pedro Neto and Jadon Sancho to their ranks over the summer to give them arguably the best squad depth in the league.

Chelsea have already demonstrated their attacking strength by putting six past Wolves and scoring three against West Ham, with the supporting cast stepping up to take some of the burden off Palmer.

A lot was made of Chelsea’s failure to sign a striker but Jackson’s start to the season shows that may not be such a bad thing and the 23-year-old has four goals and two assists in five Premier League games.
