Football fans name the Nottingham Forest player they think will man-mark Cole Palmer vs Chelsea

Today at 01:30 PM

Nottingham Forest face a tough challenge on Sunday afternoon as the in-form Cole Palmer and Chelsea await at Stamford Bridge.

Nuno Espirito Santo‘s side have kept things really tight defensively so far this season, with just five goals conceded after six games.

Murillo has played a big depart in that the solid foundation of the defence.

This has led to Chelsea and a number of other clubs registering an interest in Murillo ahead of the January transfer window.

He’s going to have to be at the top of his game if he is to keep Cole Palmer out, though he isn’t the man fans have been calling to mark the Chelsea star.

Cole Palmer’s season to date at Chelsea

Cole Palmer has transformed into one of the best players in the Premier League.

The Chelsea star has already scored six goals and provided four assists in his eight games this season, with four of them coming last time out against Brighton.

If Nottingham Forest are to get anything out of this game then it’s vital they keep the Englishman quiet, as he can take the game away on his own.

Interestingly, Nuno Espirito Santo was full of praise for Cole Palmer and suggested the approach his side will take against him, which led to a number of fans thinking one man in particular will mark him.
