Chelsea have a difficult game immediately after the international break, as the Blues will play Liverpool away at Anfield.
Gary Neville has said he’s expecting a difficult game for Chelsea star Cole Palmer, who has continued his brilliance this season.
According to Gary Neville, Liverpool will be aggressive against Palmer and won’t give him time on the ball.
“I always think that Anfield is the toughest place to get space,” Neville told NBC Sports.
“And you think about how Cole Palmer plays, and the way he always looks like he’s got time on the ball, it’ll be interesting to see how he does at Anfield and how Liverpool will attend to him.
‘[They will] be really aggressive against him and test him. They won’t want to let him have any joy in the game and encouragement early on. Anfield can be a place where you can get bullied a little bit, off the crowd, the atmosphere.”
He added: “I always remember when I went to Anfield [as a player], I think it’s the toughest place to go. And I think for a Chelsea team under Maresca, it’s a real challenge for them. And it will be interesting to see how they fare in that.”
