Impact summary

Chelsea retain their leading attacking threat Joã​o Pedro, who has 15 goals and 5 assists, a major boost for their forward line. Tottenham’s main scorer Richarlison, with 10 goals and 4 assists, is available, but the loss of creative and wide options like M. Kudus, D. Kulusevski, W. Odobert, X. Simons and D. Solanke significantly reduces their attacking depth and variety compared to Chelsea’s more intact frontline.
