Of the 19 Premier League meetings in the history of the two London sides, Palace have taken the spoils four times. Roy Hodgson will hope his side can overcome the odds and the passing game of Maurizio Sarri's Blues on Sunday.

The hosts have a near-full squad to choose from. Martin Kelly and Wayne Hennessey are returning from a groin strain and a back problem respectively, while Christian Benteke's injury will likely keep him sidelined until the new year.
For Chelsea, forwards Pedro and Callum Hudson-Odoi are unlikely to feature due to hamstring injuries picked up in the Watford match. Andreas Christensen is still recovering from his hamstring problem and is expected to be out for another week, while Alvaro Morata is 50/50 as to whether he'll feature after twisting his knee recently.
Here's how they could line up:
Crystal Palace (4-4-2): Guaita; Wan Bissaka, Tomkins, Sakho, Van Aanholt; Meyer, Kouyate, Milivojevic, Schlupp; Zaha, Townsend
Chelsea (4-3-3): Kepa; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso; Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Kante; Willian, Giroud, Hazard
