Crystal Palace v Chelsea: Commentary, updates, goals and stats

Chelsea head to troubled Crystal Palace this afternoon hoping to build on Liam Rosenior’s promising start.

The Blues beat Pafos in the Champions League in midweek to make it three wins from Rosenior’s first four games in charge.

It appears a good time to take on a Palace side reeling from a series of setbacks. Captain Marc Guehi has departed for Manchester City, boss Oliver Glasner has outlined his intention to leave at the end of the season while Jean-Philippe Mateta also wants out.

They were beaten at Sunderland last weekend, following on from the FA Cup exit against Macclesfield, and sit 13th in the Premier League table.
