This site says "Booster 19 is expected to attempt a chopstick catch at the Starbase launch tower after stage separation, as has become standard procedure for Super Heavy."
I was just reading Feynman's report on the Challenger disaster and I was depressed AF. This is exactly what I needed. Down with launch fever and solid fuel boosters.

I'm not sure this has been confirmed by SpaceX yet. Someone let me know, I really hope they go for it!
Edit: SpaceX says the booster will land in the Gulf of Mexico this flight
