Noni Madueke - Stays in left, logs four crosses Madueke had two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 win versus Manchester United.

Impact Since April 26, Madueke and Pedro Neto have remained regular starters for Chelsea, but the two swapped their attacking midfield positions. In the former's case, he went from right to left. Concerning crosses, Madueke has not adapted well, attempting 10 crosses but getting none of them to be accurate. In terms of shot creation and chances created, he has fared better with 10 (five on goal) and four respectively.

Pedro Neto - Relatively consistent before finale Neto generated one shot (one on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Friday's 1-0 win versus Manchester United.

Impact After logging an assist to begin his May, Neto recorded consecutive games with seven crosses (one accurate) and at least three corners. Between the two matchups before Chelsea's 2024-25 finale, May 25 at Nottingham Forest, he also tallied three shots (one on goal). Immediately after the last time both teams faced off, a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, Neto established himself as a first-team regular, so he will look to be the positive change when they compete against each other again.

Reece James - Records assist James assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 victory versus Manchester United.

Impact Friday was a perfect time for James to re-establish himself, which he did via a clever assist to fellow full-back Marc Cucurella, who logged Chelsea's game-winning goal. Injuries have hampered the Englishman's latest season, but it can be beautified with a strong finish that culminates in a Champions League spot. With the 2024-25 Blues' next and also last game deciding their UCL fate, they could go all out by using James, even though he has not started consecutive games since February despite a clean bill of health.

Cucurella updated his career high in goals to five, surpassing his previous best (four).

Impact Manchester United got only one shot on goal, and that was with an Amad Diallo effort that Sanchez saved. The clean sheet marks Sanchez's ninth this season, and he has logged five of them at Stamford Bridge. Now, all that remains for Chelsea's 2024-25 season and the Blues' Champions League hopes is a May 25 game at Nottingham Forest, who may enter their upcoming matchup also fighting for a UCL spot.

Robert Sanchez - Concedes twice vs. Newcastle Sanchez recorded four saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Newcastle United.

Impact There wasn't much Sanchez could've done in the two goals he conceded -- a tap-in from close range from Sandro Tonali and a beautiful shot from outside the box from Bruno Guimaraes. The Spaniard has kept just one clean sheet over his last five appearances, and he'll aim to bounce back Friday against Manchester United.

Enzo Fernandez - Busy as playmaker despite loss Fernandez generated one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card...

Impact Fernandez didn't do much outside of his lone shot on target and a few crosses into the box, but he retains a decent floor as a set-piece taker who can secure stats on both sides of the ball with relative ease. Even though he's not going to fill the box score regularly, Fernandez should remain an important player for Chelsea ahead of Friday's pivotal matchup against Manchester United.

Cole Palmer - Active in loss to Magpies Palmer generated three shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 loss versus Newcastle United.

Impact Chelsea didn't have a lot of chances in the final third, mainly because they played close to 60 minutes without a nominal striker after Nicolas Jackson was sent off, but Palmer was one of their few decent performers in this match. The talented playmaker lacked company to deliver a more impactful performance, but he figures to play a huge role for the Blues in their matchup against Manchester United on Friday.

Impact Jackson has always had a card problem, but this is the first straight red of his Chelsea tenure. He still finishes the season with 10 goals and five assists, four fewer goals than the prior campaign albeit in fewer minutes. Unfortunately for Chelsea, they've struggled to produce without Jackson in the XI and that'll be a problem as they close the season.
