EPL: They won’t allow you have joy – Neville warns Chelsea star

Manchester United legend, Gary Neville has warned Chelsea star Cole Palmer that Liverpool won’t allow him to have any joy when both teams clash in the Premier League at Anfield.

Liverpool will host Chelsea in a Premier League tie on Sunday, October 20 after the international break.

Speaking ahead of the encounter, Neville warned Palmer that Arne Slot’s side will be really aggressive against him and test him.

“I always think that Anfield is the toughest place to get space,” Neville told NBC Sports.

“And you think about how Cole Palmer plays, and the way he always looks like he’s got time on the ball, it will be interesting to see how he does at Anfield and how Liverpool will attend to him.

“[They will] be really aggressive against him and test him. They won’t want to let him have any joy in the game and encouragement early on.

“Anfield can be a place where you can get bullied a little bit, off the crowd, the atmosphere.”

Palmer has been in remarkable form this season for Chelsea.

The England international has scored six goals and provided five assists in seven Premier League games so far this term.
