In total in all competitions, the Blues played 63 games of which we won 39, drew 13 and lost 11.The season’s highest appearance maker, when totalling together starts and substitute appearances, was our on-pitch captain – Cesar Azpilicueta - with 57 of the 63 games played.

Willian was next up, with 56 appearances, followed by Kepa Arrizabalaga 54, Jorginho 54, N’Golo Kante 53, Eden Hazard 52, Pedro 52, Mateo Kovacic 51 with David Luiz the ninth to play at least 50 games in 2018/19.

If we look at those who started games then David Luiz is much higher. Our Brazilian at the back began 47 of the 63 matches, with only Kepa on 54, Azpilicueta and Jorginho on 50 beginning more matches. N’Golo Kante also began 47 games.

Minutes on the pitch

Highest when counting up time played in 2018/19 is our keeper Kepa – who completed 5,228 of the maximum possible 6,080. That is ahead of Azpilicueta’s 5,183 minutes and Jorginho’s 4,639.
