Ben Chilwell can be Crystal Palace's saviour under their new manager, the data is telling

Analysis piece arguing Ben Chilwell can help Crystal Palace climb the table under their next manager, citing his impact in cup starts despite limited league minutes.

Crystal Palace sit bottom of the Premier League after losing seven of their opening ten fixtures, with manager Pierre Sage reportedly facing the sack. The article argues that Ben Chilwell, the former Chelsea left-back, could be key to turning their season around under new management.

Though Chilwell has featured in just two Premier League games off the bench, he started both Carabao Cup ties against Middlesbrough and Fulham, with Palace winning both matches. Against Middlesbrough he won 75% of his duels and provided an assist, while his Fulham performance showed similar defensive solidity.

The piece contends that Chilwell's experience and leadership—he has captained Chelsea—should be utilised more heavily, potentially rotating with current starter Tyrick Mitchell, to help the Eagles avoid relegation.
