Crystal Palace vs Chelsea – Team News

Chelsea face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in just under an hour, and the teams are in!

Thiago Silva is one enforced change due to his suspension, and Antonio Rudiger steps in to replace him. Kurt Zouma keeps his place – that means Andreas Christensen is back on the bench.

Callum Hudson-Odoi plays at right wing back with Reece James rested, with the Jorginho-Kovacic midfield staying steady for a third consecutive match.

That means a front three of Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic supporting Kai Havertz. Pulisic has looked good in recent cameos, and the struggles that Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech have had mean that the US star now looks front of the queue to play behind the striker alongside Mount for the time being.

As for Havertz up front – we really think we’ve seen enough of that for now. What does Tammy have to do to get a chance?

Here are the full team line-ups for Crystal Palace vs Chelsea (kick off at 17:30 pm GMT)
