Fresh from being crowned champions of the world for the first time in their history, Chelsea return to Premier League action with a London derby against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Ghana international striker Jordan Ayew is tipped to start again for Patrick Vieira’s side. Ayew was in the starting formation as Palace drew 0-0 at Brentford on February 12th.
The match will be Chelsea’s first league outing in almost a month, but they take on a Palace side still winless in the top flight so far this calendar year.
Frenchman Vieira continues to trust the Black Stars attacker despite his lengthy goal drought.
Crystal Palace possible starting lineup per Sports Mole :
Butland; Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Kouyate, Hughes, Schlupp; JORDAN Ayew, Edouard, Zaha
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Mendy; Chalobah, Christensen, Rudiger; Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso; Ziyech, Lukaku, Pulisic
The game kicks off 15 : 00 GMT.
