Both players have six league involvements so far this season. Rogers has five goals in nine Premier League games, while Palmer has three goals and three assists.

When asked if he will score more goals than Palmer by the end of the season, Rogers downplayed the idea of individual competition, stating that he doesn't mind as long as Chelsea is winning games. He has six goals and four assists in all competitions, while Palmer has nine. Rogers and Palmer have similar game time and expected goals.

The Chelsea Chronicle notes that while Rogers is currently showing better form, Palmer takes penalties, which could give him an edge. Rogers has an XA of 1.44, compared to Palmer's 1.07, but Palmer has created more chances and big chances. Their expected goals are very close, with Rogers at 2.41 and Palmer at 2.40.

How we label and update stories

Source context

Both Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer got their names on the score sheet on Saturday as Chelsea beat Manchester United at Stamford Bridge – but who will score more goals? Rogers opened the scoring on Saturday with a stunning solo run and finish. The England star has spoken of how Joao Pedro is trying to get him to finish with a chip in training, and against Man United, it worked. Palmer then took the responsibility of scoring a penalty and securing a comfortable win. He did that, just about, even if Senne Lammens got two hands on the ball.
