Chelsea are finally back in action today, and that the expectation is that we will see a first start for Marco Palestra. The Italian youngster signed in the summer but has been injured so far.
In preseason he played at left back and right back, but given Pedro Neto is Xabi Alonso’s established option on the right, we think Palestra will start on the left if he’s fit.
