Patrick Vieira has made four changes to his Crystal Palace starting XI for the visit of Chelsea to Selhurst Park this afternoon.
The Eagles have not won a Premier League game since beating Norwich at home in late December and come into today’s game having drawn 0-0 away at Brentford last time out.
Jordan Ayew spurned a golden chance to give Palace the lead in that game but failed to take his opportunity, though he has been given another chance to impress today against the Blues as he starts alongside Michael Olise.
He is joined in the forward line by Wilfried Zaha and Jeffrey Schlupp, with Palace appearing to switch formation to a 4-2-31 for today's game.
Palace’s next change is in midfield where James McArthur has been brought in to replace the ineligible Conor Gallagher.
The Scotsman, who is making his first start for the Eagles since November, plays alongside Cheikhou Kouyate in the centre of the pitch.
Vicente Guaita keeps his place between the sticks meanwhile, with first-choice centre-back pairing Marc Guehi and Joachim Andersen playing ahead of him.
Tyrick Mitchell returns at left-back following successive man of the match performances against Norwich and Brentford, while Nathaniel Clyne starts at right-back.
Eberechi Eze, Christian Benteke and Odsonne Edouard are all on the bench meanwhile.
Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Clyne, Guehi, Andersen, Mitchell, Kouyate, McArthur, Schlupp, Zaha, Olise, Ayew.
Substitutes: Butland, Kelly, Adaramola, Milivojevic, Hughes, Eze, Mateta, Benteke, Edouard.
