Chelsea form and stats
Chelsea have an excellent away record in the Premier League so far with 10-3-2 from 15 games. It’s been three wins in a row for Chelsea on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.

"Man of the match" Havertz scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 34 successful passes (of 40 total).
A 1-4 loss hosting Brentford before that.The schedule is very tough for Chelsea now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Champions League game at Real Madrid is waiting in only three days.
Chelsea are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 29 times in 15 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Chelsea as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.
