Both players have made strong starts to the season, with Palmer, in particular, continuing his impressive debut season at Stamford Bridge. The England internationals have nudged their way into the conversation for a starting place within the Three Lions XI as change in the dugout appears to be imminent following Lee Carsley’s temporary spell.
Saka has two goals and seven assists in the opening seven top-flight outings, after netting 16 times in 35 Premier League appearances last term. Palmer was a key member of Mauricio Pochettino’s side, earning him the PFA Young Player of the Year award and already, the 22-year-old has six goals to his name after being everpresent for the Blues.
However, Fabregas was forced to dispute false quotes citing that the Premier League icon claimed that the former Manchester City youngster ‘wouldn’t start for any of the top six’.
