Several weeks ago, Christian Pulisic was open about his frustrations at Chelsea, admitting that he has not always enjoyed being used as a rotational option or a stop-gap in unfamiliar positions.
Many Blues supporters will feel that the United States international has a point, with only nine of his 19 appearances this season coming in the starting lineup and those outings occurring over several different roles.
The 23-year-old also only has three goals to his name in all competitions, but the attacker has fared much better during his game time against Crystal Palace.
With that in mind, Sports Mole takes a look at Pulisic's previous appearances against his club's next Premier League opponents.
Pulisic has featured versus the Eagles on five occasions in the top flight, and Chelsea have prevailed in each of those matches.
More impressively, the West Londoners have scored at least twice during every fixture, netting a total of 16 times and contributing four goals in each 2020-21 contest.
As far as Pulisic is concerned, he has scored a total of five goals, making a contribution in all but one of those encounters. The only time that he did not score was after being introduced as a substitute with seven minutes remaining during a 4-0 win last season.
During his first campaign at Chelsea, Pulisic completed the 90 minutes in each game, his most notable goal being the second Blues strike during a 3-2 triumph at Selhurst Park.
Pulisic seems to have taken a liking to scoring goals at the home of the Eagles with a double coming during the back end of 2020-21, the former Borussia Dortmund man netting the second and fourth efforts during a 4-1 win.
His latest goal came on the opening weekend of this campaign as Chelsea ran out 3-0 victors at Stamford Bridge, and Pulisic has scored more goals against Palace than any other team in English football. body check tags ::
