Kevin De Bruyne Eyes Premier League Assist Record

Kevin De Bruyne’s gaudy assist numbers give rise to any number of considerations, and we have to wonder if the Manchester City star has ever wondered if the Premier League record would be his in a world in which Jose Mourinho found better use for him at Chelsea. De Bruyne’s 12 assists this Premier League season are three more than his nearest competitors — Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka — and give him 97 for his career. That’s fifth all-time, two more than Dennis Bergkamp and 65 (?!) behind record holder Ryan Giggs.

Erling Haaland Continues to Dominate Golden Boot Race

Harry Kane scored twice on Saturday to give him 20 goals on the Premier League season, and impressive figure with 10-plus matches left for the teams of the Premier League this season. Then Erling Haaland converted a penalty at Crystal Palace to give him 28 on the season, reminding the country that the Golden Boot race remains in fait accompli territory. Haaland’s Premier League-leading 28 goals have him seven goals clear of the next closest challenger: Tottenham’s fantastic and firing Harry Kane.

Chelsea’s Momentum Slowed by Everton

Chelsea’s defense let it down for a change, as the Blues momentum was slowed by Everton in a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Ellis Simms cooked veteran defender Kalidou Koulibaly to score his first Premier League on the edge of stoppage time to give Sean Dyche’s men another valuable point in their fight for PL safety. Chelsea had been eyeing a return to the Europa League places and maybe, just maybe, a surprising surge into the top four discussion by season’s end. Instead, it’s 38 points and 10th place ahead of Aston Villa on goal differential.

Key Players

Joao Felix: His pairing with Kai Havertz up top — Christian Pulisic was slotted to play on the left but ended up doing the dirty work deeper in the pitch — yielded plenty of chances. There’s naivete there, but it’s working.

Abdoulaye Doucoure: Frank Lampard didn’t want anything to do with the midfielder, and that’s proving to look downright silly. A goal and an assist amidst less than 30 touches.

Michael Keane: This was a Sean Dyche center back performances. Keane had 11 clearances, eight by header, to go with nine recoveries.
