Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca seems to be quite pleased with the squad that he currently has.

Enzo Maresca has been speaking following Chelsea‘s 3-0 win against Aston Villa and thinks two of his players are incomparable.

Nicolas Jackson opened the scoring for the Blues before Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer added to the scoreline.

Pedro Neto impressed Chelsea fans on the afternoon, though he was unable to find the back of the net himself or register an assist.

Cole Palmer and Joao Felix ‘different from the rest’

The players in question are Palmer and Joao Felix, with Maresca claiming that the Chelsea duo make people pay money to go and watch football.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, the Chelsea head coach said: “Cole Palmer and Joao Felix are the players that make people pay for tickets.

“It doesn’t mean the rest are not good but they are different from the rest.”

Felix and Christopher Nkunku both started on the bench today, but Maresca could name Nkunku and Palmer in the same XI in the near future.

Cole Palmer’s numbers vs Aston Villa

Felix did not have too much time to make an impact after coming on in the 86th minute. But Palmer, the man who was replaced by Felix, did.

The attacking midfielder started the match and managed to grab both a goal and assist.

He also registered two key passes, so it was one of those games where Palmer was able to have an influence on the pitch.

It was not his best game, but the fact that the 22-year-old still managed to make an impact shows how much talent he has.

Chelsea play Southampton next, the team who are at the bottom of the Premier League table.

If Palmer starts that match, you would expect him to cause even more havoc and register more goal contributions.

If he does not, then Chelsea still have the likes of Jackson and Neto, who can make a difference. Under Maresca, the Blues no longer look like a one-man team.
