Chelsea vs Crystal Palace – Team News

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

As you’d expect, manager Enzo Maresca returns to his “league team” after the “cup team” lost 2-1 against Servette in midweek.

It’s the same XI that took on Wolves last weekend, with one change. Pedro Neto starts on the left wing in place of Mykhailo Mudryk, who disappointed a week ago and was hauled off at half time.

Neto and the in-form Noni Madueke flank Nicolas Jackson in the front 3, supported by Cole Palmer. Behind him is the standard Enzo Fernandez – Moises Caicedo pivot which we’ve seen struggle a fair bit at times. It will be very interesting to see how they get on today against Palace’s big press.

At the back, Maresca has really nailed down his ideal setup.

Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Crystal Palace (kick off at 13:30 GMT)
