Chelsea finish the weekend sitting third in the Premier League table after a comprehensive home win over Aston Villa.
Chelsea have returned after the November international break in good form, winning three consecutive matches across all competitions.
The Blues recorded a 3-0 victory against Villa on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League. Nicolas Jackson, Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer were all on the scoresheet to help earn three points.
Paul Merson says Chelsea have an outside chance of a title bid, but it looks like it’ll take something special to catch runaway leaders Liverpool.

Jason Cundy spots Chelsea partnership between Enzo Fernandez and Jadon Sancho
Jason Cundy claims Chelsea duo Enzo Fernandez and Jadon Sancho linked up superbly well earlier today against Villa.
Sancho started on the left wing and was a constant threat with his dribbling, while Fernandez operated as a central midfielder that pushed higher into advanced areas when the team had possession.
“I love the relationship by the way that Enzo Fernandez and Jadon Sancho have created so far. The link-up play those two have had, more so than Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto on the right,” Cundy said via Chelsea’s official app (2;25pm, 1 December).

Sancho and Fernandez have been in and out of the Chelsea side this season, but they both caught the eye after starting at home to Villa. In particular, Fernandez was a huge standout with his individual contribution.
Roy Keane loved Fernandez’s Chelsea goal against Villa, which was his second goal in two league games.
Enzo Fernandez has turned a corner
It was only a month ago when Fernandez couldn’t get into Chelsea’s best XI and the rumours were flying around about his future. However, he’s shown recently that he’s an outstanding talent with a massive role in the squad.
In his last four Blues appearances across all competitions, Fernandez has two goals and five assists. It’s hard to leave him out of the starting line-up during this purple patch.
Maresca was giving Fernandez instructions during Chelsea’s win over Villa, and it’s great to see the recent turnaround from him.
