Gary Neville Warns Cole Palmer of Tough Test at Anfield
Manchester United legend Gary Neville has cautioned Chelsea star Cole Palmer ahead of their Premier League clash against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, October 20, after the international break.
In an interview with NBC Sports, Neville emphasized that Liverpool will not make it easy for Palmer, predicting a tough, aggressive approach from Arne Slot’s side. “Anfield is one of the hardest places to find space,” Neville said, noting that Palmer’s usual composure on the ball will be tested.
He added, “[Liverpool will] be really aggressive and won’t let him have any joy or early momentum. Anfield can be intimidating, with the crowd and atmosphere adding to the challenge.” Palmer has been in outstanding form this season, scoring six goals and providing five assists in seven Premier League matches.

In 2024, he was ranked 14th in the prestigious Ballon d’Or awards, placing him among the world’s elite players.
Additionally, he was crowned Africa’s best player.
Gasperini expressed admiration for Lookman’s progress and highlighted his importance to the team.
“Ademola is a top player,” Gasperini said.
“In terms of character, there are players with more consistency, but that’s understandable given the demands of his role.
He always needs to be at his peak physically, but he’s become an extraordinary player.
He’s now among the best in Europe and the world.”
