The fatal statistics that raise questions about Kepa and Chelsea's defence

Chelsea lost to Everton on Saturday, with a 3-1 score. They are fourth in the Premier League with 29 points and are preparing for their next game. The Blues need to win the game at Stamford Bridge against Lille to qualify for the last-16 stage of the Champions League. Chelsea are free to sign players during the January transfer window, and there is statistics that they need to keep in mind before starting their business. Kepa Arrizabalaga, the most expensive goalkeeper in the world, is yet to keep a domestic clean sheet away from home in 2019. Andreas Christensen and Kurt Zouma, Chelsea’s centre back pairing at Everton, have conceded 15 goals in the seven games they have started together this season. This season so far, Chelsea have scored 31 goals and conceded 24. Chelsea have conceded more times than Newcastle, Brighton and Crystal Palace, at an average of 1.5 per 90 minutes. During the post-match press conference, Lampard was asked, how he does he get through this. The boss answered: "Work. We had it nice, we were winning games. This is the Premier League. We went to City, played pretty well, lost the game. But then the two games since then are signs of where we need to get better. We have played two teams who have been having a tough time and we have allowed the games to go away from us for different reasons and they will be big lessons for us." Chelsea will be on the action again, on Wednesday, December 12 with a Champions League group stage game against Lille.
