Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has created more chances from open play than any other Premier League midfielder this year.

The Blues have had a frustrating campaign and they have been inconsistent under manager Enzo Maresca. Despite this, they remain in contention to qualify for the Champions League.

Cole Palmer‘s form has dipped during the back end of the season, but Fernandez has stood out with his chance creation from the centre of the park for the west London heavyweights.

Fernandez has received plenty of criticism in the past, but the Argentine has now developed into one of the best creative midfielders in the Premier League.

His form could be key for the Blues as they aim to finish in the top five. The club are presently one point behind fifth-placed Manchester City in the standings.

Chelsea have another five games left in the game. It promises to be difficult with Liverpool, Newcastle United, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest to face.
