‘I shall put an end to their winning streak. Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino sends a harsh Premier League warning to Arteta ahead of their CLASH.
Mauricio Pochettino believes Cole Palmer has provided Chelsea with what they require ahead of their encounter against Arsenal. When he has started a game for Chelsea, the deadline-day purchase from Manchester City has a flawless record, with victories over Brighton, Fulham, and Burnley.
The 21-year-old scored his first goal for the Blues from the penalty spot against the Clarets, capping off a great start to his career at Stamford Bridge, having also picked up two assists in his short time with the club.
Pochettino emphasized Palmer’s freedom despite being positioned on the right and noted his unpredictable character as a crucial weapon in Chelsea’s assault. Raheem Sterling was positioned on the left against Burnley, where the 28-year-old flourished, assisting on all four Blues goals. Pochettino appears to have a lot of competition on the wings presently, especially with Mykhailo Mudryk’s increasing form.
“In the midfield area, they start to connect and get a good link,” Pochettino told the official Chelsea website. Cole Palmer is another good player that works well with his teammates. We’re giving him the starting spot on the right, but we’re also giving him the opportunity to play between the lines because he’s ready to read what the team needs and to be unpredictable because football is an unpredictable game, and he has the ability to do so.”
While the international break is in full swing and Pochettino has a smaller team to deal with than he would like, Arsenal is just nine days away. Chelsea’s head coach is looking forward to the match, which he feels will allow him to assess where his squad stands.
“We’re going to play against a very good team, a team that has built a very good squad and a very good coach in the last few years,” he remarked. Mikel is a good friend of mine, and they are doing an excellent job.
It is a team that is now ready to compete for major things, which makes competing with them an interesting challenge. We are in a different process, at a different moment, but I believe it is crucial to observe how our guys will compete with a more experienced team.”
