Nicolas Jackson has the potential to perform a unique feat in Chelsea’s upcoming match against Burnley, a feat not seen since 2011.
Tomorrow sees Chelsea return to action at last after the uneventful international break has finally come to an end.
They will face a struggling Burnley team—which will be without loanee David Datro Fofana—at Stamford Bridge when they return to Premier League action.
Mauricio Pochettino will be confident that even though he is missing a heap of players due to injury, the Blues will have enough quality to get the job done.
Palmer and Jackson fit to face Burnley
Of course, he will be happy to see Cole Palmer return healthy following an injury scare while on international service, but he will also be happy to see Nicolas Jackson primed and ready to go.
He has only failed to score or provide an assist in one of his seven starts since returning from the African Cup of Nations, making him an incredibly valuable player for the Blues at the moment.
Considering that this is his debut season in the Premier League, he presently has nine goals, which is outstanding.

Jackson one off 10 goals and yellow cards
The fact that he is also sitting on nine yellow cards, which is probably not as outstanding, is what is being discussed.
He might become the third player in their first season to accumulate 10 of each in the Premier League if he manages to pick up one of each tomorrow, as reported by BBC Sport.
The previous player to accomplish this was Charlie Adam in 2010–11, and Jackson might make history with this.
Because of his excellent form, Jackson will undoubtedly be listed on the team sheet tomorrow, whether or not this is known at Stamford Bridge.
It remains to be seen though whether he will help the Blues to victory against Burnley, and see them begin their late push for a European place.
