Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta became the club's sixth highest appearance maker in the 0-0 draw at Liverpool on Saturday. The 33-year-old came on in the 81st minute to replace Trevoh Chalobah at Anfield to help Graham Potter's side secure successive clean sheets for the first time since October.
Azpilicueta's inclusion on Merseyside means he becomes the sixth player in Chelsea history to reach 500 appearances and only nine behind John Hollins. Should the Spanish defender overcome Hollins' record, he will join John Terry (715), Frank Lampard (648), Ron Harris (609) and Peter Bonetti (539) in the top five.
Since joining in 2012 from Marseille, Azpilicueta has been a mainstay in the Blues defence under various managers. Azpilicueta has won all the major competitions during his time in west London, including the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Europa League and FIFA Club World Cup.
