Chelsea enter the international break with plenty of confidence after a good start to life under Enzo Maresca.

The Blues have not lost since a 2-0 defeat at home to Manchester City in the opening game with Maresca's team currently occupying a Champions League position in fourth. Sunday's 1-1 draw at home to Nottingham Forest ended a run of five straight victories in all competitions but things are looking good for Chelsea after a chaotic summer.

Maresca's side are set to face a huge test next up with the Blues travelling to Liverpool. Below, is a look at the latest headlines from Stamford Bridge as well as a view on each one...

Palmer warning

Cole Palmer can expect to be bullied when his Chelsea team visit Anfield, pundit Gary Neville has warned.

"I always think that Anfield is the toughest place to get space," Neville told NBC Sports over the weekend. "And you think about how Cole Palmer plays, and the way he always looks like he’s got time on the ball, it’ll be interesting to see how he does at Anfield and how Liverpool will attend to him.

‘ be really aggressive against him and test him. They won’t want to let him have any joy in the game and encouragement early on. Anfield can be a place where you can get bullied a little bit, off the crowd, the atmosphere."

He added: "I always remember when I went to Anfield , I think it’s the toughest place to go. And I think for a Chelsea team under Maresca, it’s a real challenge for them. And it will be interesting to see how they fare in that."

Football.london's Isaac Seelochan says: It's a really interesting point and should tell us a lot about how good Palmer is. He played out of position in his last visit to Anfield, a 4-1 defeat in Janaury, but that shouldn't be the case this time.

Fofana fears

Wesley Fofana has been declared fit to represent France during the international break. The Chelsea defender joined up with Les Bleus in September before being sent back to west London as a precaution.

L'Equipe claim that the Blues wanted Fofana to stay in England and avoid risking another flare-up after missing the entirety of last season. However, those wishes have fallen on deaf ears, with France bosses giving Fofana the green light to play in upcoming Nations League matches against Israel and Belgium.

Football.london's Isaac Seelochan says:It's clearly a risk given Fofana's injury history and plenty of people at Chelsea will be holding their breath over this. However, he's played seven times already for the Blues this season so there really isn't any excuse for him not to play for France as well.
