Cole Palmer's importance to Chelsea has been stunningly highlighted after new stats revealed where the Blues would be in the Premier League table without their star player.
The 21-year-old England international is in the running for the English top-flight's player-of-the-season accolade after starring since making the summer switch to Stamford Bridge from Man City.
Palmer is currently level on 20 goals with former City team-mate Erling Haaland in the race for the Premier League's golden boot and is expected to make Gareth Southgate's upcoming England squad.
While it has been a stellar season for Palmer, it's been a largely difficult campaign for Chelsea and manager Mauricio Pochettino who is coming under increasing pressure.
Palmer's absence was massively felt as the Blues came unhinged in a dominant 5-0 defeat
