Chelsea vs Crystal Palace team news

Christopher Nkunku and Noni Madueke both started on Thursday night as Chelsea lost to Servette in the Conference League, but still qualified for the league phase.

That throws their involvement at Selhurst Park into slight doubt, otherwise Enzo Maresca is not expected to make too many changes to the team which thumped Wolves.

Palace, meanwhile, are facing an injury crisis at the back . New signing Chadi Riad was forced off against Norwich, leaving only Chris Richards, Marc Guehi (who has been linked with a move away) and Rob Holding as recognised central defenders.

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace prediction

Palace have been somewhat unlucky in their first two games but the Blues look to be clicking into gear.
