Retains midfield starting role
Lavia generated one tackle (zero won), one clearance and one interception in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Arsenal.
Analysis: Lavia registered one tackle and one clearance across his 60 minutes in Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Arsenal before being replaced, contributing to Chelsea's midfield structure as he made his third consecutive Premier League start of the season in a double pivot that was repeatedly exposed by Arsenal's movement between the lines. The Belgian midfielder's ability to screen the backline and recycle possession gives Chelsea an important structural presence in central midfield.
Scores opener
Lavia scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 4-3 victory over Brighton.
Analysis: Lavia opened the scoring after just four minutes, reacting quickest to a loose ball following a corner to register his first goal for Chelsea. He played 68 minutes in his second consecutive Premier League start before making way for Moises Caicedo. With Caicedo forced back off with an injury after only 14 minutes on the pitch, Lavia could remain in the starting midfield for the upcoming fixtures, giving him an opportunity to establish a more consistent role.
