Kai Havertz provided the cutting edge as Chelsea waltzed away 1-0 victors against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. The 23-year-old nodded the Blues ahead in the second half after a delicately lofted Hakim Ziyech cross found him at he near post.
Graham Potter's side launched out of the blocks and looked keen to impress new signing Mykhaylo Mudryk, though it wasn't until 20 minutes into second-half when Havertz found the lead. Chelsea struggled to add to their advantage but the class of Thiago Silva and Benoit Badiashile guided the club to victory.
The Blues remain some way off the top four, sitting in ninth with 28 points - ten points from Manchester United. But, Chelsea are slowly but surely showing signs of great promise under Potter so the return of Joao Felix and the introduction of Mudryk will come as huge boosts.
