Setting up the wide attacker means the England international is up to double figures for goals and assists in his debut season in West London. Palmer has netted 21 goals and played in teammates 10 times to finish in 2023-24, thus seeing him become the first Chelsea player to do so since 2010.
Lampard and Drogba did likewise in the title-winning Premier League campaign in 2009-10, with the Englishman scoring 22 times and assisting 14, while the retired centre-forward notched the Golden Boot with 29 goals and set up 10.
What comes next for Palmer and Chelsea?
Palmer's latest goal contributions take him level with Ollie Watkins for direct involvements leading to goals (31) this term.
Chelsea are making a late play for sixth spot, moving level with Newcastle United on 57 points, with both sides having two games to play.
Pochettino's team travel to Brighton on Wednesday, keen to secure their 17th league victory of the season and potentially move into sixth as the Magpies travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.
