Key Players to Watch

Chelseas summer signing has slotted right in at Stamford Bridge‚ taking on the burden of being the clubs main source of goals in more ways than one․

Palmer top scores in the Premier League for Chelsea this season with ten goals‚ two more than the clubs main striker Nicolas Jackson․ The English attacking midfielder has also provided seven assists so far and is Chelseas main playmaker‚ so clearly Newcastle must put some kind of plan into action to stop the youngster if they are going to get something out of this game․
