Romeo Lavia - First Premier League assistLavia assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 54th minute.

ImpactLavia sprung Cole Palmer for Chelsea's second and decisive goal Sunday as they outlasted Newcastle for a 2-1 victory. The assist was the first of the season and first of his career in the Premier League. In each of the two fixtures since returning form injury, Lavia has been selected to the starting XI and paired in a central pivot role with Moises Caicedo. It will be worth monitoring in the coming weeks if manager Enzo Maresca opts for a defensive approach by pairing the two aforementioned defensive holding midfielders or for a more attacking minded approach with Enzo Fernandez controlling play in the middle of the park.

ImpactSanchez conceded once and made a single save Sunday as Chelsea squeezed past Newcastle for a tight 2-1 victory. Though Chelsea were able to hang on for the victory, Sanchez completed just 50% of his passes and six of his 25 long balls attempted. Manager Enzo Maresca took responsibility for the keeper's performance post-match, stating, "If Robert makes a mistake, it's not Robert's problem, it's my mistake because I asked that from Robert. I am very happy with Robert and the way he is playing, building from the back." If Sanchez remains the first choice for Chelsea between the sticks, his next league matchup will come Sunday as Chelsea travel to take on Manchester United who recently relieved manager Erik ten Hag of his duties.
