Confirmed Chelsea team vs Crystal Palace: Badiashile and Chukwuemeka start, Koulibaly dropped

Graham Potter has made five changes to his Chelsea side for this afternoon's must-win Premier League match against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues head into the game with just one victory in their previous nine league matches. It's a run of form that has left them tenth in the table, behind the likes of Brighton, Fulham and Brentford.

Kepa Arrizabalaga has made errors in Chelsea's previous two matches but continues in goal. There is still no Edouard Mendy in the starting XI after he underwent surgery on a fractured finger suffered in training. Marcus Bettinelli is among the substitutes once again.
