Chelsea midfielder Jordan Henderson, 36, set a new Premier League record last Saturday. He became the oldest player to directly contribute to three goals in a single game, scoring two goals and providing an assist against Bournemouth.
His performance demonstrated his significant role at Chelsea, extending beyond elevating standards off the pitch. Henderson's midfield partnership with Moisés Caicedo has provided balance to Xabi Alonso’s team, allowing the front three of Morgan Rogers, João Pedro, and Cole Palmer to flourish.
Henderson and former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso are expected to receive a lively reception when they face Everton. Their upcoming confrontation against an Everton defence, which has impressed this season despite recent errors, will test the hosts' unbeaten start.
