This is a dangerous game for Chelsea, who remain a work in progress despite spending more than £200m on their squad. Crystal Palace are set up to hurt teams on the break and, having already won at Manchester United, they could cause Chelsea a few problems. It promises to be an awkward test for Frank Lampard’s side after their defeat to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup, although they have been boosted by Christian Pulisic’s return from injury. The winger could be in the squad for the first time this season. Jacob Steinberg
