Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists he's happy for Cole Palmer over his early impact at Chelsea.
Palmer will face his old club this weekend after leaving City in August.
Guardiola said, "Really pleased. One of the reasons he left was game time and he's getting it so congratulations to him. He's playing well and all the best.
"Congratulations to Chelsea and him."
Guardiola also had a word for another former City player, Raheem Sterling.
He added: "He's playing really good. He's back in his best moments from what I've seen recently. What he did here for us in the early years was really really important."
On any rivalry with Chelsea, he also said: "The achievement is what we have done, not the other clubs. Chelsea are one of the most important teams in England, they won the CL with Tuchel against us. It's one of the strongest teams, no doubts about that.
"They have good spirit, aggressive, good patterns, it's one of the toughest games we have in the season but still, we go there optimistic. We are top of the league right now and we have to try and maintain the quality of the game. But sooner or later Chelsea will be fighting for the title, no doubt about that."
