Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has a star-studded attack, and the competition for places is intense.
Nkunku has been prolific in the cup competitions, while Jackson is the first choice striker in the Premier League.
Enzo Maresca has revealed that both players will have games between themselves, but Nicolas Jackson remains the first choice striker.
“We know very well that he is important for us,” Enzo Maresca said about Jackson.
“On the ball he is working fantastic – he’s scoring goals, he’s assisting, he’s linking with his teammates; off the ball he is working hard, he’s pressing the way we want to press and he’s doing fantastic with us.
“We also have Christopher [Nkunku] there. He’s going to help us because the season is very long. We have so many games and also sometimes the game plan can be different, it can be more for Christopher than Nico. We also have young talent so we can choose.”
Nkunku has scored eight goals in all competitions, with only one in the Premier League. However, Jackson has scored five goals in eight league matches.
