Gets straight red card Jackson was sent off in the 36th minute of Sunday's match against Newcastle with a straight red card. He's suspended the rest of the season as well as the 2025/26 opener.

Impact Jackson has always had a card problem, but this is the first straight red of his Chelsea tenure. He still finishes the season with 10 goals and five assists, four fewer goals than the prior campaign albeit in fewer minutes. Unfortunately for Chelsea, they've struggled to produce without Jackson in the XI and that'll be a problem as they close the season.

Pockets assist Jackson assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Manchester City.

Impact Jackson would earn an assist in just the first few seconds of Saturday's match, capitalizing off Abdukodir's Khusanov's mistake to find Noni Madueke for their only goal of the contest. This gives Jackson his fifth assist of the season, with the last coming just two appearances ago. He also has nine goals, with 14 goal contributions on the season.

Impact Jackson was lively Tuesday, but could have been more clinical with his finishing. Despite three on target attempts, a blocked shot and rattling the post, he could not find the net. The Senegal striker is not enjoying the success he exhibited earlier in the season, he has accrued nine goals and four assists but this was his first assist since September and he has not found the next in six matches.

Impact Jackson has logged multiple shots on goal in all but one of his last five appearances. Among the four appearances that Jackson recorded multiple on-target shots, he scored at least one goal thrice. Sunday marked the only time Jackson did not score, an unfortunate anomaly that cost Chelsea two more points. Up next for the Blues is a home game against Fulham, and Jackson has logged three goals across his last four games at Stamford Bridge.

Seven shots, one goal Jackson scored one goal to go with seven shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Brentford.

Impact Jackson's seven shots are his new season high by at least multiple shots, so it would have been disappointing had he not scored Sunday. Fortunately for Jackson, one of his shots was successfully converted, getting him a third goal across his last four games. Not even halfway through the 2024-25 Premier League, Jackson is only one goal away from getting double digits in the category this season.
