Crystal Palace VS Chelsea
Saturday (17/12/2016)
13:30 (WAT)
League leaders Chelsea face another test of their title credentials on Saturday when they take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, with Antonio Conte's men looking for their 11th straight win in the top-flight.

Chelsea secured another narrow victory in midweek with their 1-0 win over rock-bottom Sunderland, which opened up a six-point gap between themselves and second-placed Liverpool.

But they now take on a Palace side desperate for points after the Eagles suffered a last-gasp loss to Manchester United on Wednesday, which keeps Alan Pardew's side hovering just above the relegation zone.


TEAM NEWS
Pardew has several players out of action this weekend, with James Tomkins (groin), Bakary Sako (muscle), Connor Wickham (knee), Loic Remy (calf), Steve Mandanda (knee), Jonathan Benteke (knee) and Pape Souare (broken leg) all sidelined.

Meanwhile, Eden Hazard remains a doubt for Chelsea ahead of the trip to Selhurst Park after being left out of Conte's squad for the Sunderland game with a knock he sustained against West Brom at the weekend.

With Cesc Fabregas having scored the only goal against the Black Cats on Wednesday, the Spaniard is likely to be handed another start in midfield at the expense of Nemanja Matic.

POSSIBLE LINE-UPS
Crystal Palace potential starting XI (4-4-2): Hennessey, Ward, Delaney, Kelly, Dann, Lee, Flamini, McArthur, Cabaye, Benteke, Zaha.

Chelsea potential starting XI (3-4-3): Courtois, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill, Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso, Pedro, Costa, Willian.
