Palmer has been in exceptional form for Chelsea this season, scoring 20 goals in the league, which equals Haaland’s tally for Manchester City. The two were previously teammates at the Etihad Stadium, but Palmer’s opportunities were limited to just 41 appearances under Pep Guardiola.
In his 38 games for Chelsea, Palmer has contributed to 36 goals, scoring 23 and providing 13 assists. The outcome of Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final between Mauricio Pochettino’s side and Manchester City at Wembley remains uncertain, but both players will undoubtedly be pivotal.
Reflecting on matching Haaland’s goal tally, Palmer expressed amusement, stating, “It just makes me laugh to be honest. I never thought, this time last year, when I was playing with him, I’d be on the same goals as him, especially with what he was doing in the league last season. It’s just mad.”
Both Chelsea and Manchester City are determined to secure a spot in the FA Cup final. For Chelsea, it represents their final opportunity to claim silverware this season, while City aim to achieve a domestic double by adding the FA Cup to their Premier League title aspirations.
