…PALMER
When he can play regularly like has happened, then yes, I did not doubt his quality. The stats and the way he is playing, he is already an exceptional player. He got the minutes he wanted, and it was just a question of time - he has shown his quality.

Manager on Chelsea…INJURY REPORT
Thiago Silva and Carney Chukwuemeka are out but Levi Colwill, Malo Gusto and Robert Sanchez are all available.
…PALMER
He’s very smart - in between smart, clever and naughty. He's so emotionally intelligent. He doesn't care. He is going to go there and play. He can play good or not so good - but it’s not because of the pressure.
…MAN. CITY
The lesson is that we are going to play and face a very good team, one of the best in the world. You need to be brave enough to try and make them face their own goal and defend. If we go there and wait to see what is going on, they are a team that can dominate and make you suffer.
