Reed most bookable ° Fulham's combative holding midfielder

The west London derby closes Premier League Matchday 1 on Monday night. Cole Palmer (10G, 11A in 26 PL apps) is still Chelsea's standout individual. Enzo Fernández (10G, 15A in 36 apps) and Morgan Rogers (signed from Villa, 10G/14A last season) add significant creative depth. Fulham lost Jiménez to Wolves and Pereira to Palmeiras but retain Robinson, Iwobi and Cairney in a resilient squad. Chelsea's corners record (6.4 per game) and Fernández assists are the headline statistical angles. Palmer shots and Reed's card profile complete the picture.
