Graham Potter's allegiance may have changed from Brighton to Chelsea but the rivalry with Crystal Palace has not gone away. Despite the London derby not being as fierce of a competition as Palace's hatred of Brighton - and vice versa - the pressure to win at Selhurst Park is still there.
Chelsea's form against London teams had been almost exemplary until the end of Thomas Tuchel's only full season in charge. The Blues lost matches at Stamford Bridge to both Arsenal and Brentford, conceding eight goals in the process, and halted a record breaking run against London sides.
Potter will be less bothered about picking this up and more about getting three points to start his league career off at the club in full flow, and he's got the players to do it too.
