Willian - Creates two chancesWillian created two chances, took one on-target shot and won two of three tackles attempted in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Chelsea.

ImpactWillian put together a solid performance Friday, as he created two chances and had one shot on frame. He was not overly involved in the match as he made just 12 passes, his second fewest in a start this season. He did well with the ball when he had it though, and did some solid defensive work to help his team keep a clean sheet against his former club.

Joao Palhinha - Creates two chances in drawPalhinha created two chances, took three off-target shots and picked up a yellow card in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Chelsea.

ImpactPalhinha put together an all-around good performance Friday, as he led the team in shots taken, was tied for the lead in chances created and had a stellar defensive performance. In addition to helping his team keep a clean sheet, he won three of four tackles attempted, intercepted four passes and made two clearances. The only true downside to his outing was a yellow card in the 22nd minute, his eighth of the season and third in the past five matches.

Andreas Pereira - Two shots in drawPereira recorded two shots (one on target), had five crosses (one accurate) and picked up a yellow card in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Chelsea.

ImpactPereira had a solid game Friday, as he had one on target shot and whipped in five crosses. He took two corners in the match, his eighth straight match with multiple, and ended the night with one accurate cross. He also picked up a yellow card in the 51st minute for a bad foul, his sixth of the season. He leads the team in assists with five, and with his consistent use on set pieces he is likely to pick up more as the season progresses.

Bernd Leno - Keeps clean sheet in drawLeno made two saves and kept a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Chelsea.

ImpactLeno kept his fourth clean sheet of the season Friday, as he saved the only two shots he faced. Much of the credit goes to his back line, as holding Chelsea to just two shots on target is an impressive feat, even if the team isn't as good on the attack as in years past. Leno has been in good form in his past five matches, as he's made 23 saves, conceded three goals and kept two clean sheets over that stretch. He faces an easier matchup next Saturday versus Nottingham Forest who have just 16 goals in 20 matches this season.

Kepa Arrizabalaga - Keeps another clean sheetArrizabalaga made four saves and kept a clean sheet in Friday's 0-0 draw versus Fulham.

ImpactArrizabalaga kept his third straight clean sheet Friday, as he saved all four shots he faced. Him and the Chelsea defense have played well of late, as he has saved all 12 shots he has faced in his past three matches. This was also a marked improvement from the Jan. 12 match at Fulham, where Arrizabalaga made just one save and conceded twice. He faces an easier match next Saturday at West Ham who have scored just 18 goals in 21 matches this season.

Reece James - Returns from injuryJames had two inaccurate crosses, won his only tackle attempted and made one clearance in Friday's 0-0 draw versus Fulham.

ImpactJames made his return to the pitch Friday after missing the past five matches with a knee injury. He had missed 13 of the last 14 league matches, so it's a positive sign to see him back on the field. It wasn't his best performance on the attack, but he played well enough on defense. He helped the team keep a clean sheet, won his only tackle attempted and made one clearance in his 60 minutes.

Conor Gallagher - Creates two chance in drawGallagher created two chances, took one off-target shot and had five crosses (one accurate) in Friday's 0-0 draw versus Fulham.

ImpactGallagher had a solid performance Friday, as he tied for the team lead in chances created with two. This was his third consecutive match in the starting XI (his longest streak of the season) and he has played in every minute over that stretch. This is a positive sign for him, as he is seeing even more playing time despite the club buying Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk and others. Although he has just one goal and one assist this season, he has created six chances and taken 12 corners in his past three matches, so it would not be a surprise to see him record an assist soon.
