Team News
Chelsea
Crystal Palace
- Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois are both expected to be fit in time for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace after picking up minor injuries during the international break.
- Victor Moses is also an injury concern for Antonio Conte's side after he withdrew from the Nigeria squad, while Diego Costa picked up a foot injury on duty for Spain only for scan results to clear him of any damage.
- Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce isn't expected to make many changes to the side that beat Watford 1-0 before the international break.
- Patrick van Aanholt has failed to recover from an ankle injury that saw him stretchered off against West Brom at the start of March, which means Jeffrey Schlupp will continue at left-back.
- James McArthur is also a doubt for the away side, but Mathieu Flamini has returned to training.
- Loic Remy is not available to play against his parent club here. Jonathan Benteke, Connor Wickham and Pape Souare are still absent.
An excellent result for Palace but those flares were a disgrace.
WOW
Bad line up from Conte. Willian should start with Fabregas in place of Matic.
Well done Crystal Palace. Thanks very much for taking 3 points against a very arrogant side that think every game is a win. Should be premier league for Spurs
@njamimaranga Well done Wayne Hennessey, you mean.
on paper it should be a hard game but on the field Chelsea 3-palace 0
Crystal Palace was whoscored.com March's Team of Month. This Chelsea side today they're dropping points. Thier players aren't in that for condition. Only time will tell.
hard game for Chelsea
Should be a hard game for Chelsea. Crystal Palace 3 wins back to back, fight for Relegation. But A Chelsea squad that is injured, or on the recovery of injury is not really fit. Diego Costa and Eden Hazard have contributed 82% of Chelsea goal. Crystal Palace will play the physical defensive bus game. Won't be shocked if it ends 0-0. Winning the premier league doesn't come easy, time to test Gold with fire.
njamimaranga is still thinking about how Chelsea should be tested when everyone else knows well that Chelsea has jumped all the hurdles en route PL title.You need to wake up from your cacoon
@0708915762 You were soooo wrong - as always
Chelsea 5-1 Palace
2 - 1 chelsea win zaha to score
