Cole Palmer appears to be back to his best and Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer are the latest to shower the Chelsea star with praise.
Palmer has had a stop start beginning of the season and missed the wins against West Ham and Fulham with a groin injury.
The 23-year-old is now fit again, and has found the back of the net in his last two games against Brentford and Bayern Munich.
Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer praise Cole Palmer
Despite making five attacking signings in the summer, Palmer is still very much the jewel in the Chelsea crown, and the player the Blues look for to make something happen.
There was concern after the England international was seen holding his groin at full time after the defeat in Munich on Wednesday, but Maresca has confirmed Palmer is ok.

Palmer scored a brilliant goal against Bayern, and Chelsea will be hoping to see more of the same against Manchester United on Saturday.
The former Manchester City man seems to be back to his best now and Shearer and Lineker were the latest to praise Palmer.
“He looks like he’s come back from that little glitch. A little injury at the start of the season. He’s just a beautiful footballer,” Linker told The Rest Is Football.
Shearer replied: “His goal [against Bayern] – the way he carried the ball and then got the ball back, he made the finish look stupidly easy, which of course it wasn’t.
“It just looked effortless, he looks impressive again, doesn’t he, Cole Palmer?”
Chelsea attack still needs time to gel
Whilst Palmer appears back to his best and Joao Pedro has hit the ground running, the Blues have two players in attack playing well.

However, Chelsea are still waiting for things to click in the wide areas, although Estevao Willian has looked impressive.
Pedro Neto has put in some good performances, whilst Jamie Gittens has struggled, and Alejandro Garnacho could be in line for his first start against his former club, with Chelsea needing an improvement on the wings.
