If Mason Mount plays against Arsenal on Wednesday night, he will make his 100th Premier League appearance for Chelsea. The Blues midfielder has scored 23 goals and provided 18 assists along the way - more than any other English players for the west London club.
Chelsea have had some superb English players in the Premier League era. None more so than Frank Lampard, who will go down as one of the club's greatest-ever players and holds the record for most goals scored for Chelsea, but Mount looks set to surpass another of his records.
In Lampard's first 100 league games for the Blues, he managed to net 16 goals and register 11 assists. In the same amount of matches, Mount has seven more goals and also seven more assists than Lampard.

Mount has been in superb recent form for Chelsea. The 23-year-old has scored four goals in his last three games for the Blues in all competitions - including the second in the 2-0 win against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday afternoon.
Thomas Tuchel recently said it was a "pleasure" to work with someone like Mount because of his attitude on and off the pitch. Tuchel said: "It is always a pleasure to work with Mason because he is the kind of guy who comes with a smile on his face to every single training session.
"It is always 100 per cent in matches, he accepts every challenge and that is why it is so nice to work with him. He is fully of quality and he has a 'blue' heart.
"Mason loves the club, he loves Chelsea. That is how he plays and that is why he has our full support. He is always switched on and ready to push himself to the limit and that is the foundation as to why he gets our full support, because he deserves it."
