Chelsea's issue since Christmas has been evident. Especially in the past 10 games the problems for Graham Potter have centred around converting chances.
They have underperformed their xG by more than seven goals in that time and have failed to score more than once in a game in all but one match since November. Although the defensive improvement has largely meant that games have been closer than the 4-1 loss to Brighton or the limp 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, there is still no reliable source of goals.
Their joint second top scorer is Jorginho, who left on deadline day and has only converted penalties. Raheem Sterling has started just two games in 2023 and is still the leading marksman for the team in all competitions. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is also tied for second and has not scored since October 11.
