Palace's impressive start to the campaign was halted last week albeit in controversial circumstances against Everton. Wins over Southampton and Manchester United had handed Roy Hodgson's side the perfect opening two weeks of the term. However, they suffered their first loss of the Premier League season as a result of Richarlison's penalty, which was awarded by VAR against Joel Ward. The Eagles will be bitter and looking to bounce back against the Blues.
Chelsea are in need of a victory this afternoon after a difficult week. The Blues were fortunate to rescue a point last time out against West Brom in the Premier after conceding three goals in the first half.
