Chelsea head into their clash against Crystal Palace looking to arrest their poor form that has seen them just win once in nine attempts. It will be no easy task for Graham Potter, who has limited availability of players once again to make his selection from.
New signing Joao Felix appeared to spark some life into Chelsea against Fulham but will not see his first outing at Stamford Bridge until next month after being sent off at Craven Cottage. It was clear Potter was disappointed to be without his new charge.
In his pre-match press conference he said: “Of course, we’re disappointed because he came here to play, he came on loan to play. You saw his quality when he was on the pitch [against Fulham]. To lose him for three games is a real blow for us but there’s nothing we can do. We just have to deal with it.”
