Palmer delivers, Mudryk sparks but Silva mixed - Chelsea players rated for the season so far
Chelsea have reached the second international break of the season, and with just under two weeks before the return of domestic football there is time to take stock and see how things have developed. Mauricio Pochettino plans to continue to work hard and improve despite a number of his Chelsea stars being away from the club.
The Blues boss will have more players than Chelsea have often come to expect, with Raheem Sterling having been overlooked by Gareth Southgate for the third England camp in succession. The former Man City and Liverpool ace provided a pertinent response against Burnley.
It's not been a perfect start to the season by any means for Pochettino's men as they sit 11th in the Premier League. However three victories in a row see the team showing hints of their potential ahead of a difficult road ahead. football.london rates the players on their season so far below, in relation to what was expected of them as much as their actual performances.
Robert Sanchez — Outside of the Carabao Cup match against Brighton where his distribution was heavily called into question, the Spaniard has looked a very solid addition to Chelsea's squad. Has pulled off an array of impressive saves already this season and if he can shore up his passing, the Blues will have a very solid No. 1. 6.
Axel Disasi — The French defender has grown into his role in Chelsea's backline and shown strong defending and impressive long-range passing. His additional contributions in looking to boost team morale are an added bonus and it is his spot to lose as Chelsea's defenders return from injury. 7.
