CHELSEA star Cole Palmer picked a shock Premier League cult hero when asked who he would choose to take a penalty to save his life.

Palmer, 22, is a spot-kick expert having scored 15 of them and never missing once during his young and stellar four-year career.

The forward has netted 10 of them with the Blues where he already counts six goals in as many Premier League matches this season.

However, if his life depended on it, the winger would choose someone else to step up to the plate and take a penalty for him – and that is no ordinary pick.

The ex-Manchester City star would go with none other than Mario Balotelli as he remembers how dominant he was when it was just him and the opposing goalkeeper.

Palmer told BBC Sports: “One penalty taker to save my life…?

“If I can’t say me – I would but I’ll say one just for the content.

“The one that comes to my head is Balotelli.”

The interviewer seemed a bit surprised by that answer but Palmer stood by his pick.

And the England international is not wrong as Balotelli, 34, has scored a whopping 48 out of all the 53 penalties he has taken during his controversial 18-year career.

Palmer responded: “Have you seen his pens?”

The Chelsea star was then asked if he would have any worries about Balotelli doing something unpredictable: “Nah, I trust him. Go on YouTube and search his penalties.”

Balotelli fell from grace despite playing for the likes of Inter Milan, AC Milan, Man City, Liverpool and of course Italy.

That was mainly due to the current fee agent’s unpredictable character.

That is why Palmer continued to be egged on by the interviewer regarding his pick.

The forward seemed to concede that point as he changed his taker and opted for a star England team-mate before adding that there are actually quite a few favourites he would go for.

Palmer said: “Actually, maybe Ivan [Toney]. I don’t know, there’s a few.”

Authorities responded to a call around midnight on Friday of a shooting that killed a man around Townsend Avenue and Park Entrance Drive.

The major retailer’s service enables shoppers to pre-book and pay for their Christmas dinner and other festive treats in advance, which will then be delivered to their door five days later.

An Iceland spokesperson said: “At Iceland, we are committed to ensuring that our customers have access to convenient delivery options during the upcoming busy Christmas period.

“Delivery slots for Christmas will be made available to customers six days prior to the delivery date.”

Here are the key dates Iceland shoppers need to remember.

• Slots available from 11/12/2024: Delivery on 16/12/2024

Iceland’s spokesperson said: “Please note that slot availability is specific to each store, and whilst we are still finalising details for our pre-book campaign, the table outlines when slots will be open for all customers.”

Unfortunately for shoppers, the budget supermarket chain will not be offering its click-and-collect service for Christmas bookings.

The retailer’s spokesperson added: “For stores providing home delivery, slots will be made available daily up to and including the 24th of December 2024.

“We plan to also offer a final delivery slot on Christmas Eve between 2.30pm and 4.30pm, depending on the store.

“We’ll ensure that delivery availability across all stores is prioritized in order to ensure our customers can receive their groceries in time for Christmas.”

Iceland is not the only store to confirm their Christmas delivery slot dates.

Ocado has told Smart Pass holders to look out for a text or email which will alert them the day before they go live this week.

Smart Pass Holders pay a set fee either monthly or annually to get free delivery slots, seven days a week.

Delivery Pass customers will be able to book their slots from October 2.
