Plus, you can see how the game is unfolding with our live interactive widget, here.The two sides are making their way out onto the pitch, with just a few minutes to go until kick-off.Meanwhile, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has also made four alterations to the team that featured in their last outing, with Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, N’Golo Kante and Alvaro Morata making way for Gary Cahill, David Luiz, Victor Moses and Willian, respectively.

Roy Hodgson has decided to make four changes to the Palace side that started the defeat against Manchester United two weeks ago, with the most notable inclusion being veteran goalkeeper Julian Speroni, who starts his first league game since May 2016. There’s also a place in the line-up for Wilfred Zaha, who is back from injury and starts up front in place of Bakary Sako. Meanwhile, Scott Dann and James McArthur have come into the side to replace Damien Delaney and Jason Puncheon.
Palace may find themselves stuck in a deep and depressing hole at the moment but it’s they who were last victorious in this fixture thanks to an excellent 2-1 win masterminded by Sam Allardyce back in April. They’ve actually won both of the last two games here by the same scoreline, although Chelsea have picked up victories from seven of the previous 10 meetings between the two teams.

Defeats against Burnley and City and a goalless draw with Arsenal have left Chelsea struggling for points at Stamford Bridge this season, but they’ve performed much better on the road and head into today’s game in impressive form. They’ve won their last five away games in the league thanks to last month’s 4-0 thrashing of Stoke City, with only Manchester United managing to beat them in their previous 12 outings.Another defeat this weekend will see Palace equal the worst start made by any side to an English league season, matching the eight-game losing run set by Liverpool in 1899, and that looks to be a real possibility as they take on a Chelsea side desperate to win. The Blues were defeated by early pace setters Manchester City in their last outing and will be looking to return to winning ways to keep the pressure firmly on the Sky Blues.
Having to face the likes of Manchester City, United and now Chelsea hasn’t helped Palace, and a difficult run has not only left them rooted to the bottom of the table but means they're already five points behind 17th-place Leicester City. With a trip to a strong Newcastle United side coming up after today’s game before a derby clash away to Tottenham Hotspur at the start of next month, it could get much worse before it gets better for the imperilled Eagles.It never rains but it pours for Palace, who, thanks to a heavy defeat at the hands of Manchester United just before the international break, have made the worst start to a Premier League season in its 25-year history. Roy Hodgson taking control of the reins after Frank de Boer’s early sacking doesn’t seem to have made much of a difference, as the Eagles are still shipping goals at an alarming rate and remain without either a single goal or point.
