Provides assist in victory
Neto registered one assist to go with five corners and five crosses in Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Port Vale.
Analysis: Neto sparked Joao Pedro's 25th minute goal with a strong run down the right wing, winning the ball battle against Liam Gordon before firing in a low cross that the Brazilian buried with confidence, and he also whipped in the dangerous ball that led to Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel's own goal after attacking the box and setting up Cole Palmer. The winger also forced a strong save from the opposing keeper with a powerful second-half strike before coming off in the 61st minute, ending the match with one assist, one chance created and one shot. Neto now has two assists in his last four appearances across all competitions and is carrying strong momentum into Chelsea's final stretch of the season.
Suspension served
Neto is available after being banned in the last two EPL games.
Analysis: Neto completed his suspension in Saturday's loss to Newcastle, where Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho played on the flanks. The Portuguese may now return, perhaps in Garnacho's place, for upcoming contests, and could also compete for corner and free kicks with Reece James. Prior to the ban, Neto scored five goals and provided four assists across 28 league appearances.
