Cole Palmer knows that whatever result his Chelsea side bring back from the Emirates on Sunday, he'll have the backing of new girlfriend Olivia Holder. The Chelsea playmaker will be looking to do his former club Manchester City a favour by snatching points from the Gunners in an important London derby.

The Blues will equally be targeting a boost to their bid for Champions League football via a top four or five finish. Palmer has battled fitness problems this season, managing just 14 Premier League starts so far.

One person firmly in the 23-year-old's corner is partner Olivia Holder, who is now regularly seen alongside the midfielder after they struck up a romance.

Holder, also 23, was on hand to share a striking snap in a little black dress ahead of the Arsenal - Chelsea showdown. She posed confidently for the camera, clutching a Chanel bag by its handle.

The influencer, who boasts 18,000 followers on Instagram , was first pictured on a date with Palmer back in December. The Chelsea star had previously parted ways with his ex-girlfriend Connie Grace - who is also a social media personality - in June last year.

Palmer made things official with Holder earlier in January, after the pair were photographed together at a Christmas market in London. Fans swamped the influencer's comments with admiration following their official stamp on the relationship.

One said: "Cole, we fully support you." Another posted: "@colepalmer10 Job done." While a third added: "We see you Cold. Good taste, very good taste."

Holder regularly shares some eye-catching snaps on her Instagram page, much to the delight of her followers. One upload showed the 23-year-old in the stands at Stamford Bridge, wearing a top that read: "You are not on my level."

Further posts feature Holder posing on a boat in a starfish bikini. She flashed a peace sign towards the camera, with the blazing sun and the open sea stretching out behind her.
