Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has masterplan to stop Chelsea and Cole Palmer

Howe looking to exploit Chelsea's weaknesses

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe is reportedly working on a masterplan to stop Chelsea and Cole Palmer when the two sides meet in the Premier League on Saturday.

Howe is said to be aware of Chelsea's weaknesses and is looking to exploit them in order to get a result at Stamford Bridge.

One of Chelsea's main weaknesses is their defence, which has been shaky at times this season. Howe is likely to instruct his players to press Chelsea high up the pitch and force them into making mistakes.

Palmer a key threat for Manchester City

Another player that Howe will need to be wary of is Cole Palmer. The 20-year-old has been in impressive form for Manchester City this season and is seen as one of the most promising young players in the Premier League.

Howe is likely to give Palmer special attention and will need to make sure that he is not given the space to operate.

If Howe can successfully implement his masterplan, then Newcastle will have a good chance of getting a result against Chelsea. However, it will be a tough task as Chelsea are a strong team and will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to Arsenal last weekend.
