Chelsea have now made it two and a half consecutive games of football where they have comfortably been one of the best sides in the league.
They continued their strong run of form yesterday with a 5-0 win over West Ham at Stamford Bridge, with their attackers in particular capturing plenty of headlines.
Cole Palmer got things going with a coolly taken opener, meanwhile Nicolas Jackson added two to the already emphatic scoreline in the second half.
Goals were hard to come by last season for the Blues in all competitions, however they have addressed that by pretty much doubling their tally for the campaign so far.
While a lot of good work is going on in attack, it can sometimes be overlooked some of the strong performances elsewhere in the side.
Trevoh Chalobah deserves credit for Chelsea win
One player who certainly should not see their role underestimated is Trevoh Chalobah, who started on the right of defence yesterday in the absence of a fully fit Reece James and Malo Gusto.
He found the net last week against Tottenham, with all the talk after the game about how it would feel crazy to sell him based on his versatility and performance levels since coming back into the team.
Pochettino seeing players return from injury
He backed that display up with another fine outing in West London, making it very difficult for Mauricio Pochettino to leave him out of a squad at this stage.
With some players such as Gusto and Levi Colwill approaching their returns for the final few games of the season, they will have a tough time keeping someone like Chalobah out based on the form he has shown.
European football now looks a real possibility for next season, however it has been claimed the ownership will not accept anything less than Europa League, meaning it has to be a top six finish or bust for Pochettino.
