Chelsea will be returning to Premier League action in third place and with a very attractive run of fixtures on paper to come.

Enzo Maresca has impressed chiefs at Chelsea with the tune he is getting out of the squad in his first season as a top-flight manager.

A number of individuals seem to have reached an even higher level since the Italian came in, and this has led to them currently sitting third in the league.

Goals have been far easier to come by in the early stages of this season in comparison to the prior campaign, and this has been as a result of some clinical finishing from their number nine.

Shay Given and Shaun Wright-Phillips name Nicolas Jackson most improved Premier League player

Nicolas Jackson’s impressive performances have seen him keep Christopher Nkunku at arm’s length as far as Premier League starts go, despite him being the club’s top scorer in all competitions this season.

Teammate Levi Colwill has described Jackson as ‘amazing’ this season. He currently sits on six Premier League goals so far, as well as three assists.

It seems his performances this season have impressed a number of pundits too. Both Shay Given and Shaun Wright-Phillips have named the Senegal international as their most improved player of the season.

Nicolas Jackson vs Christopher Nkunku stats 24/25

Nkunku is reportedly growing frustrated at his minutes at Stamford Bridge this season, with the majority of them coming in cup competitions so far.

While he is scoring his goals at a better rate than Jackson, it is fair to say he is doing so against far weaker opponents.

The Frenchman may get his chance to feature in the Premier League soon, with Jackson one yellow card away from suspension.

For all his improvements on the pitch, the striker has certainly not learnt from last season about avoiding unnecessary bookings.

He will be looking to be back amongst the goals though when action returns at the weekend against Leicester City.
