Chelsea top scorers against the Big Six: Phenomenal Palmer completes remarkable set

Cole Palmer has scored at least one Premier League goal against every member of the Big Six, and might catch Eden Hazard soon.

From the obvious Hazard to the slightly more obscure Alex and Ross Barkley, here is every player to have scored for Chelsea in Premier League matches against Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham since the start of the 2010/11 season – the first in which they comprised the top six.

We have even broken it down into goals against each opponent before confirming the overall totals. These numbers are accurate as of the last Chelsea game versus a Big Six side (3-1 v Liverpool on May 4, 2025).
