Given the fact that Chelsea were expected to concede FIFTEEN less goals than they did in the 2019/20 Premier League (more than any other team) - Édouard Mendy could be an absolute revelation for the Blues next season!

#CFC #KTBFFH Stat source: @OptaPro
As a comparison, the 2nd worst/unluckiest (depending how you interpret it) were Norwich who conceded 7 more goals than their xG

Below, I've included the top 6 and bottom 6 teams for this stat. No surprise to see #SUFC conceding far less goals than they should have #DeanHenderson
Some of you may notice the humorously large discrepancy between Chelsea and Norwich's Shots On Target Conceded.

Norwich conceded the most Shots On Target of any team in the league last season (210)

Chelsea conceded the 3rd least (115), behind Man City (111) and Liverpool (107)
*In theory*, Chelsea's defence will be much better next season with Mendy, new coach, Anthony Barry (who we will find out more about in the next week or so courtesy of @PKendrickWIG who is appearing on @AlexGoldberg_'s podcast) and both Thiago Silva and Chilwell also arriving!
