Chelsea supporters will be happy with their attack right now and have every reason to be.
The likes of Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke have Chelsea sitting just outside of the top four.

Palmer and Jackson have been deadly in front of goal this season, scoring seven and six league goals respectively.
The latter has now firmly established himself as Chelsea’s first-choice striker, something that Romelu Lukaku could never do during his time in west London. Lukaku was often compared to Didier Drogba during his years in England, a comparison he has been speaking about recently.

Romelu Lukaku thriving at Napoli
Not happy during his second spell at Chelsea, Lukaku was loaned out a couple of times before the Blues finally sold him to Napoli in the summer for £30m.
The 31-year-old is doing well there under former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, scoring four goals and providing four assists in eight Serie A appearances.
His latest goal came against AC Milan on Tuesday in a 2-0 win and was actually Lukaku’s 100th goal contribution in Serie A.
Lukaku could have stayed in England, but the Belgian’s heart was set on returning to Italy and reuniting with Conte.
Nicolas Jackson on course to outscore Romelu Lukaku
Last season, Jackson scored 14 goals in the Premier League, while Lukaku netted 13 in Serie A. The two strikers played around the same number of games, with the former appearing in just a few more.
Jackson also has more goals this term and could outgun Lukaku again. He only cost his current employers £32m as well, while they had to pay almost £100m to land Lukaku.
Ultimately, Lukaku may be doing good in Serie A, as he always has done, but he is a thing of the past for Chelsea, especially with Jackson now delivering.
Jackson will get the chance to add to his Premier League tally when he takes on another one of Lukaku’s former clubs on Sunday, Manchester United.
