Recent form
Atalanta have been in good form, winning three of their last four games. That follows a disappointing start to the season, and they are only 12th in Serie A. They are however 10th in the UCL table.
Chelsea were in good form before their latest two games against Leeds and Bournemouth, losing at Elland Road before drawing with the Cherries. Before that they had beaten Barcelona 3-0 in the Champions League and drawn against Arsenal with 10 men. Now they need a response to two very disappointing Premier League results.
What’s been said?
Atalanta boss Raffaele Palladino: “I was in England during my downtime to learn English, and I took the opportunity to watch a few Premier League games. I saw Arsenal, I saw Chelsea. I was with Enzo Maresca and Roberto Vitiello, who are friends, by the way.”
Enzo Maresca on Cole Palmer’s absence from this game: “Cole, it’s part of his process at the moment. He is not available, he can’t play two games in three days, so we planned this and it’s a way to protect him.”
