Manchester United host rivals Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.
Manager Ruben Amorim is walking a tightrope, with just one win in five games leaving his side under heavy scrutiny.
Chelsea have a very balanced squad with youngsters eager to prove themselves.
The London outfit lost 3-1 to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) yesterday but their star man Cole Palmer put on a superb show.
Despite starting on the right wing, Palmer made his influence felt in the game.
The 23-year-old brought his side back into the game by scoring in the 29th minute to make it 2-1.
He strolled through the Bayern midfield and played a quick one-two with Malo Gusto before firing a strike into the top-left corner.
Before that, he should have earned an assist when he played a through ball from the right to Enzo Fernandez, but the Argentine fluffed his chance.
Palmer scored a sublime goal with a delicate touch from the outside of his boot in the 89th minute, but VAR correctly ruled it offside.
The £100 million-rated star ended the game with 89% passing accuracy and four passes in the final third, including creating one big chance.
There is no doubt that Palmer is Chelsea’s biggest attacking threat for the Red Devils on Sunday.
Amorim must devise a plan to cage the Englishman, or risk being undone by his creativity.
If Palmer lines up on the right again, Patrick Dorgu and Luke Shaw will be tasked with blunting his impact.
After Shaw was bullied by Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland last Sunday, there is a chance that Ayden Heaven starts in the left centre-back spot.
