Pedro could be the spark to inspire Chelsea in light of their goal woes... but Antonio Conte needs him to start delivering performances like his one against Newcastle more consistently

When Chelsea were stuttering on their way to the Premier League title finish line last season, it was not Eden Hazard who pulled them out of a hole that was threatening their silverware hopes.

The final big step came at Goodison Park, against Everton, with a defeat at Manchester United two weeks before still fresh in the mind. Chelsea passed the hour, scoreless. There was a chance for the title door to open to Tottenham.

Step forward Pedro with the goal to calm minds and set up the trophy lift in May.
