Chelsea briefly looked like chasing Liverpool in the title race but the two defeats and a draw in the last three matches has dented their ambitions. They currently occupy the fourth spot in the standings with 35 points from 19 games, ten shy of leaders Liverpool. They face Crystal Palace this evening in an away tie, looking to return to winning ways. Their loss to Ipswich City in particular was tough for the fans as they dominated the game for large parts.

Crystal Palace will welcome back Marc Guehi back in the matchday squad after suspension. There is no way back for Rob Holding, who may have to look for another club. Adam Wharton, Franco Umeh-Chibueze, and Matheus Franca are injured. Ismaila Sarr and Eberechi Eze on the wings will use their pace to find a way past the Chelsea defence with Jean-Philippe Mateta leading the forward line. 

Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Romeo Lavia, and Carney Chukwuemeka are all missing out for Chelsea due to fitness issues. Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo will slot in central midfield with Cole Palmer as the playmaker. Jadon Sancho and Pedro Neto alongside Nicolas Jackson will be spearheading the attack.
