This season, Cole Palmer has made 11 Premier League appearances for Chelsea, tallying four goals and dishing out two assists.

The 21-year-old joined Pochettino’s team from Manchester City in the summer, and Blues great John Obi Mikel believes that since then, he has changed drastically in appearance.

Cole Palmer versus Manchester United: Will he get the start?
Chelsea’s next challenging match is against Manchester United, which will take place at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Pochettino’s team will be playing in this match.

Given that, Palmer is probably going to start since Pochettino will want to start his best team.

The former City player should be able to play the entire 90 minutes or most of the match against United because he was healthy enough to start on the bench for Brighton’s victory and did so.

After falling to Newcastle United 1-0 over the weekend, Erik ten Hag’s team will be eager to win all three points, but Chelsea truly need to win to maintain their faint hopes of making it into the Champions League.

They play Everton next, which might be another difficult match. Chelsea hasn’t had the best of results at Goodison Park lately.

Palmer is a part of Pochettino’s finest team, which he will require for these forthcoming Premier League games for the reasons mentioned above.
