Cole Palmer's dry spell in front of goal has not had an adverse effect on the Chelsea attacking midfielder's mood, manager Enzo Maresca said ahead of a Premier League meeting with Leicester City.

Cole Palmer has been a shining light for Chelsea in his almost two seasons at the club and scored 22 league goals in his debut campaign. This season, the England international has netted 14 times but his last goal came in mid-January while he last registered an assist on 1 December in a 3-0 win over Aston Villa.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has urged Cole Palmer to simply continue doing what he has been doing to put an end to his mini-drought in front of goal. The Blues' superstar midfielder has failed to score in Chelsea's last five Premier League games but is also on a run of 13 matches without an assist - form which exemplifies the team's wider struggles in all competitions.
