Chelsea’s title charge came off the rails at Christmas and they will be eager to get back on track at Selhurst Park this afternoon.
A draw at Everton was followed by defeats to Fulham and Ipswich with Enzo Maresca’s side now 10 points behind leaders Liverpool.
Palace are 15th and certainly not out of relegation danger. They claimed four points from their last two games, a goalless draw at Bournemouth and a home win over Southampton.
