Standout performers: Which Chelsea players impressed against Wolves?

2. Cole Palmer

New season, same old guy. An ice cold killer. That's Cole Palmer in blue. He exudes composure, demanding the kind of respect veterans tend to garner. Just a reminder that somehow he didn't start a single game for England at the European Championships this summer. The way he conducts play in that No. 10 position is second to none. His coolness in the middle of the pitch allows for the speed on the outside to play much more freely. The only reason why he should be playing out wide anymore is if the injury list forces him to.

For the second time since joining the West Londoners last season, the ex-Manchester City man bagged multiple assists en route to an emphatic league triumph. Palmer recorded four goal contributions, moving his total as a Blue to 37 in just 35 Premier League matches. What mesmerizes me is how effortless it all looks to him. Just look at the weight he puts on his passes. It's as if he has an innate sense of the pitch's dimensions and his teammates' movements.
