Crystal Palace have come on a long way since Patrick Vieira’s first Premier League game as a manager at Stamford Bridge in August.
The Eagles were beaten 3-0 by the then-recently-crowed UEFA Super Cup champions, with Vieira fielding a starting XI that was still yet to feel the full benefit of the club’s summer recruitment.
Danish international Joachim Andersen made his debut off the bench, Conor Gallagher was unable to face his parent club while Odsonne Edouard and Will Hughes both didn’t arrive at the club until the final days of the transfer window.
