Speaking ahead of Chelsea's match against Manchester United, Palmer said that the first half of the season was a challenging time for him. He felt like he was building on his performance from the previous season, but then hit a slump.

Palmer admitted that this dip in form affected him, especially after he had been scoring regularly and even netting hat-tricks. However, he sought advice from the manager and his teammates, who reassured him that it was a normal part of the game.

With the stakes high, as Chelsea aim to secure a spot in the Champions League and the Europa Conference League final, Palmer believes the team is back to its best. He said that after a strong start to the season, followed by a dip, they have now found their footing.

Palmer emphasized that the team's goal is to make it to the Champions League, and they need to win their next two matches to achieve this. He expressed confidence that Chelsea can play like they did against Liverpool, showing hunger and readiness, and hopes that this will be enough for them to succeed.
