"Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer named in Premier League Team of the Month. An injury-hit campaign has started to come to an end though, and across February he scored five goals and assisted another. It is perhaps no surprise then that WhoScored named Palmer in their statistical Team of the Month in midfield, with Pedro up front."
"Only Arsenal centre-back Gabriel picked up a higher average rating than Pedro, and his hat-trick against Villa will already put him in contention for a similar accolade in March. The partnership between the two of them has proven to be a real strength for Chelsea, with Pedro locking down the striker position ahead of Liam Delap."
"After a few games of starting Palmer in the number 10 role, Rosenior elected to start the Englishman off the right wing against Villa, allowing Enzo Fernandez to return to a central role. Palmer was key to a lot of the nice interplay with Pedro, Reece James and Malo Gusto, and it is a position he has starred in when Enzo Maresca was in charge."
Joao Pedro has demonstrated exceptional form at Chelsea during February, earning Premier League Team of the Month recognition alongside teammate Cole Palmer. Pedro scored five goals and provided one assist throughout the month, including a hat-trick against Aston Villa. Cole Palmer also contributed crucial goals and received praise for his performances. Manager Liam Rosenior has successfully utilized Palmer in a right-wing position, a tactical approach previously employed by former manager Enzo Maresca. This positioning allows Palmer to create interplay with Pedro and other attacking players. Pedro's performances have been particularly impressive, with only Arsenal's Gabriel achieving a higher average rating. The partnership between Pedro and Palmer has become a significant strength for Chelsea's attack, with Pedro establishing himself as the primary striker ahead of Liam Delap.
