Pockets assist Jackson assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Manchester City.

Impact Jackson would earn an assist in just the first few seconds of Saturday's match, capitalizing off Abdukodir's Khusanov's mistake to find Noni Madueke for their only goal of the contest. This gives Jackson his fifth assist of the season, with the last coming just two appearances ago. He also has nine goals, with 14 goal contributions on the season.

Impact Jackson was lively Tuesday, but could have been more clinical with his finishing. Despite three on target attempts, a blocked shot and rattling the post, he could not find the net. The Senegal striker is not enjoying the success he exhibited earlier in the season, he has accrued nine goals and four assists but this was his first assist since September and he has not found the next in six matches.

Seven shots, one goal Jackson scored one goal to go with seven shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Brentford.

Impact Jackson's seven shots are his new season high by at least multiple shots, so it would have been disappointing had he not scored Sunday. Fortunately for Jackson, one of his shots was successfully converted, getting him a third goal across his last four games. Not even halfway through the 2024-25 Premier League, Jackson is only one goal away from getting double digits in the category this season.

Scores again Jackson scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Aston Villa.

Impact Jackson took a low cross from Marc Cucurella to score with his left foot. The former has scored in back-to-back games, which he did twice before this season. For Chelsea, the coming week will feature two away games, Wednesday at Southampton and Sunday at Tottenham. But, if Jackson's previous away form is anything to go by, he could be just fine. Among his eight goals and three assists, five goals and two assists were logged on visitor grounds.

Interception for goal Jackson scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Leicester City.

Impact One of Jackson's more underrated plays Saturday was his lone interception off Wout Faes. The turnover allowed Chelsea a quick counter-attack that resulted in Jackson getting a goal. He was on the verge of finishing November without any scored, but that will not be problematic going into December. Jackson has been on an excellent goal-scoring pace throughout the second half of the 2024 calendar year, scoring seven times in 12 games.

The goal was Jackson's second in as many appearances. The striker has started in each of Chelsea's Premier League fixtures to begin the season. Over his most recent five appearances (five starts), Jackson has attempted 13 shots (seven on goal), created six chances, scored four goals and assisted twice.

Selflessness results in assist Jackson assisted once to go with five shots (two on goal) and one chance created during Chelsea's 4-2 win Saturday against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Impact During the game's 20th minute, Jackson had a one-on-one chance against Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. But with Cole Palmer coming up the Senegalese forward's right side and in open space, he selflessly passed what could have been his fifth goal since August. The pass worked out well for everyone involved. Palmer logged his first of four goals Saturday, and Jackson has three assists across six appearances of the 2024-25 Premier League.
