"Arsenal and Chelsea's modern day rivalry has seen the two London clubs trade bragging rights throughout the 21st Century. At this moment in time, it is the Gunners who are in the driving seat, tipped to end their Premier League title drought in May next year. There is a long way to go and plenty of football to be played, including games which will undoubtedly come to be decided by the likes of Bukayo Saka and Blues' talisman Palmer."
"The ex-Manchester City academy graduate is currently sidelined through injury but has been set a challenge by former England international Theo Walcott on his return to the pitch. Walcott is an admirer of the Mancunian, whose impact at Stamford Bridge over the past few years has only been eclipsed by those with club legend status. Palmer has 45 goals and 28 assists in 101 appearances for the West London club, a record any attacking player would be proud of."
"Palmer has 45 goals and 28 assists in 101 appearances for the West London club, a record any attacking player would be proud of.

Can you do something different?' And they're the players that will continue to grow.""
