Manager seeking statement victory for improving sideMaresca hopes Cole Palmer will shake off injury in time
Enzo Maresca will relish the pressure of chasing a statement victory when Chelsea try to enhance their top-four credentials in their clash with Arsenal on Sunday.
The head coach, who hopes that Cole Palmer will shake off a knee injury in time, has seen his team perform encouragingly in last Sunday’s draw with Manchester United and defeats by Liverpool and Manchester City. The onus is on Chelsea to win a big game and Maresca is not concerned about whether there is more heat on Arsenal after their disappointing run.
