Chelsea have invested heavily in attacking players in recent windows, splashing out on Mykhailo Mudryk, Christopher Nkunku, Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson but have struggling in front of goal, scoring just 26 times in 16 Premier League matches. Mauricio Pochettino's team are also finding it tough going in the Premier League and currently sit 12th in the table.
GettyWHAT POCHETTINO HAS SAID:
Pochettino has hinted he wants reinforcements in January: "After the first half of the season, we need to check. That is the reality. If we are not receiving enough, maybe we need to do some movement. That is the thing to analyse with the sporting directors, to see if we can change this dynamic and improve in the second half of the season. We didn’t score [against Everton]. I think we dominated the game, we were the better side, but if you don’t score goals it is difficult to win the games. We were not aggressive enough in the last third.
"We need to be more aggressive. Then it's a massive assessment and when the transfer window opens, we will see what we can do. I don't say if I am going to ask for more or less players. It's to see if the perception matches the reality. We are missing something. We need to improve our reality."

Bardghji became the youngest player to score against United in the Champions League at the age of 17 years, 358 days when he netted in Copenhagen's 4-3 win over the Red Devils in November.
