Chelsea team confirmed vs Crystal Palace: N'Golo Kante and Reece James start

N'Golo Kante returns to the starting XI today as Chelsea take on Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

The France World Cup has had a difficult beginning to the 2019/20 campaign with just three league starts to his name before this afternoon's clash.

The Blues played out a fierce 4-4 draw with Ajax on Tuesday night in the Champions League, which means that some of the players could potentially be a little jaded.

Jorginho isn't in the squad as the Italy international is serving a one-match suspension for the five yellow cards that he has already picked up.

The Blues have won five Premier League games in a row and a sixth today would be a great boost going into the international break this week.

Here is how Chelsea line up:

Premier League match preview: Chelsea v Crystal Palace

Chelsea: Kepa, James, Zouma, Tomori, Emerson, Kante, Kovacic, Mount, Willian, Pulisic Abraham.

Subs: Caballero, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Gilmour, Hudson-Odoi, Batshuayi, Giroud.
