The match also highlighted that Palmer\u2019s relationship with Madueke which could prove a key asset for Chelsea going forward. The duo effortlessly rotated into each other\u2019s roles to pull defenders out of position and open up pockets of space down the right.<\/p>\n
Madueke has struggled to make an impact since his arrival at Stamford Bridge from PSV but having a player like Palmer next to him, with whom he has a link-up, could help. Palmer likes to roam onto the right and that could help Madueke given it will offer him a passing outlet and someone else to help keep defenders occupied when he’s on the ball.<\/p>\n
The winger registered an assist against Luxembourg and was an ever-present threat down the right with his tricky dribbling and direct runs down the flank.<\/p>\n

With the Chelsea squad looking likely to switch to a more traditional variation of the 4-3-3 at some stage, with Ben Chilwell failing to take his chances as a full-back slash winger, Pochettino must consider the relationship between Madueke and Palmer when selecting his starting eleven and the impact that a ready-made partnership would have on the overall cohesion of his team.<\/p>\n
Raheem Sterling has shone so far this season and a switch to the left is unlikely to hinder his form. He would be the likeliest candidate to complete a front three with Nicolas Jackson and Madueke in a 4-2-3-1.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen whether the international break has had the impact that many Chelsea supporters were hoping it would on their side and whether Pochettino will change up his underwhelming system.<\/p>\n
But England’s U21s have certainly given him food for thought. There’s every chance the set-up could be exactly what Chelsea need after a frustrating few results.<\/p>\n
