There is a lot of good feeling surrounding what is going on at Chelsea right now after the opening six games of the season.

After a perfect start away from home in the Premier League, Enzo Maresca recorded his first victory at home with the 4-2 win over Brighton.

Cole Palmer was the star of the show, scoring all four goals in what was a sensational first half at Stamford Bridge.

The England international is performing at a level rivalled by few right now, with many already tipping him for even bigger things as a result.

He seems to be getting the best out of his teammates too. Nicolas Jackson has already proven to strike a very positive relationship with Palmer.

Sinclair praises Nicolas Jackson

The Senegal international has had himself a very strong start to the campaign too, perhaps shown by the fact Christopher Nkunku has been unable to force himself into the Premier League starting side since the first game of the season.

While he didn’t score against Brighton, Frank Sinclair still believes his performance showed he is proving plenty of previous doubters wrong right now.

He said to TalkSPORT: “Last season he was being questioned about, is he the number nine for Chelsea going forward. A lot of people would have said, I can’t see that right now, but there is a massive improvement in him.

“He gets the assist for Cole’s first goal, so he has come on. Sancho has come into the team showing a new form that has not been seen probably since his time at Man City.”

Chelsea signed Jackson for bargain £32m

Chelsea are of the opinion they secured a bargain when they signed Jackson, who joined last summer for a fee of £32m.

This has perhaps been shown by the extension to his contract already given to him, an honour only currently earned by Palmer and himself.

Jackson’s work rate and ability to put the team first has really impressed a number of pundits so far, and he remains a crucial player for Maresca and his side right now.
