The Blues face off against the Premier League’s whipping boys at Selhurst Park - and Antonio Conte will be expecting three points.
Alvaro Morata has been ruled out with a hamstring injury suffered in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City two weeks ago, and N’Golo Kante is also unavailable following a problem sustained on international duty with France.
David Luiz returns from suspension however, meaning Conte has decisions to make regarding his defence.
Up front, he must also choose between back-up striker Michy Batshuayi or playing one of Eden Hazard, Willian or Pedro as a false nine.
The Premier League champions currently sit fourth in the table, six points behind City and Manchester United.
