Enzo Maresca could target playing Cole Palmer and Joao Felix together but has revealed a potential obstacle with the plan.

Chelsea survived a late scare to claim a 2-1 win against Leicester City in what should have been a routine result for the Blues at the King Power Stadium Goals in each half from Nicolas Jackson and Enzo Fernandez saw the Blues past Steve Cooper's side,

Enzo Maresca has suggested Cole Palmer and Joao Felix playing together for Chelsea “could be a target for the future.” The two attackers have yet to start a game together for the Blues, with Palmer left out of the Europa League squad for the early stages,

Cole Palmer is set to be available for Chelsea ’s Premier League match against Leicester City on Saturday. Palmer was a doubt for Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal before the international break due to a knee injury he suffered in the 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford on November 3.

Leicester’s next task is a particularly difficult one as former manager Enzo Maresca returns to the King Power Stadium for the first time. The Italian steered the Foxes back into the Premier League in his solitary season in the Midlands, and was then lured away by Chelsea in the summer.

After back-to-back draws in the Premier League before the break, the Blues’ quest to return to winning ways kicks off against Maresca’s old side Leicester City. Despite guiding the club to promotion last term, the Italian ditched Leicester in the summer to join Chelsea following Mauricio Pochettino ’s exit.
