Chelsea
Crystal Palace
- Jose Mourinho only forced change will be to replace John Terry with Kurt Zouma. The Chelsea skipper is suspended for Saturday's clash with Crystal Palace after being sent off in their 3-2 win over West Brom at the weekend.
- The Chelsea boss could give summer signing Baba Rahman his first outing, but he might stick with the same players that earned their first win of the season.
- Bakary Sako is expected to retain his starting berth. Glenn Murray could also remain in the starting XI if Connor Wickham fails to overcomes the rib injury that kept him out of their win over Aston Villa.
- Patrick Bamford's loan agreement means the striker cannot play against his parent club (Chelsea).
- Yannick Bolasie will return to the squad following the death of his father but isn't likely to start.
- Alan Pardew will also be without captain Mile Jedinak, who has been ruled out for 2-3 weeks after straining his hamstring in the League Cup midweek.
mourinho should change his conventions. Fabregas should play instead of Willian as ATM to be just behind the striker and wingers. This is his position in Spain team and first half of 2014/2015 season. For who ask to change him by Oscar ,u have to know that in this match only he has done 93 passes ,nearest one after him is Matis with only 60..So it's easy to see the power of domination that he gives to Chelsea . Also he has 33.3%of Chelsea's shots on target. But the distance between him and his freinds in the front line kills Chelsea power.That's also what Beinsport channel analysts said so many times. Mou should use Mikel or Ramires as DM. Costa must not be far from the deep inside position. Hazard should be instructed to dribbel to passe the ball quickly, like all the wingers in the world, not to be foueld at 10 km from the goal.

How the f**k can you rate ivanovic more than Azpilicueta?
@EURON Because despite making a lot of mistakes, none of his mistakes lead to goals. More over, all the goals came from the left side.
@EURON Maybe it's because Ivanovic sucks in marking the opposite players, and whoscored's rating doesn't care about marking.
Mourinhou: Hazard is better than Ronaldo LOL
Must be another "fake" result for Jose...
@NotBiased He did say after the game that it should have been a draw.
Eva's curse.
Who will Jose " the special child" blame now?
The Special Mong does it again. Excellent work.
Special clown deserves much more than that for what he's done to poor lovely eva
Oh hello, it's Mourinho time.
stupid ref gives Chelsea 5 adds mins so they can tie the score.
oh Falcao what a joke .. he celebrated like he won the World Cup.
@Yman He hasn't scored in ages... it must have been a relief to score anything at all.
New chant at stamford bridge "goodbye Mourinho goodbye Mourinho. ..."
Where is the "boring boring Chelsea"?
@SozSaeed lol they're facing CP not Bayern.
The special one-"Hazard plays on the same level as that of Messi and Ronaldo"....Lol
sakho will sak the ho
Mourinho shouldn't be sacked before meeting with Casillas.
@pulverizer Lol
Score 1 goal atleast...Anyside
I think Palace will give us a tough game today . Check out my blog on this game .olbg.com/blogs/post.php?id=409605
can't wait to see mourinho's impulsive celebration
I had the same FT score in mind before reading this preview. Chelsea to win by one goal. And how many chances exactly is Mourinho going to give Ivanovic? He's utterly hopeless so far this season, maybe it would be wise to give some youngster a shot in the starting XI.
this game will be draw, 1-1
Chelsea still hvnt gotten it in defence... high scorin game wit chelsea winnin.. 3-2..
What odds Costa getting sent off?
@dSquib I would love a brawl on the pitch started by Costa xD
I think Pedro assisted Costa's goal
2-1 Chelsea Pedro MOTM.
