Enzo Maresca confirms £40M Chelsea star is going to play against Man Utd
Cole Palmer will play in Sunday’s Premier League match against Manchester United, according to Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca.
With seven goals and five assists across all competitions, the England international has had yet another strong start to the season.
Palmer was not used as a substitute in the midweek Carabao Cup loss to Newcastle United, but he is anticipated to start this weekend.
Maresca clarified the same in his pre-match presser saying: “”I hope so [he plays well]. He is going to play, I hope! Cole is doing very good.”
Palmer was sensational in the last meeting versus United. He scored a sublime hat-trick in a dramatic 4-3 win for the Blues at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues were trailing 3-2 in the 98th minute. Palmer converted a penalty before scoring a stupendous winner in the closing seconds of the game.
Chelsea are currently fifth in the table with 17 points and they have a chance to break into the Champions League spots by beating United.
