#4 Eden Hazard and his form

Chelsea v Newcastle United - Premier League
Chelsea v Newcastle United - Premier League.

Eden Hazard has scored five goals and assisted three more in his last six starts for Chelsea in the league. In the UEFA Champions League, he has scored 3 goals and assisted twice in four starts.

In the last 6 gameweeks, he has created a chance every 26 minutes and has completed an average of 7.6 dribbles per match. In the league match against Liverpool at Anfield, he completed 9 dribbles, more than any other player in the Premier League this season, and in the game against Newcastle, he had NINE shots on goal, of which six were on target, and he completed eight dribbles.

His audacious panenka penalty against Newcastle was evidence that he is brimming with confidence right now. With his current form, it will be difficult for opposing defences to stop him and the list of upcoming fixtures seems tailor-made for him to weave his magic in the Premier League.
