Chelsea predicted line up for weekend clash.
A Chelsea predicted line up for this weekend’s home game against Crystal Palace, with John Terry in need of replacing in defence after his red card last week…
GK: Thibaut Courtois
Chelsea’s number one, Thibaut Courtois will surely be in goal against Crystal Palace this weekend.
DR: Branislav Ivanovic
Starting at right-back, Branislav Ivanovic has not had the best start to the season but Jose Mourinho has shown faith in him by keeping him in the team at West Brom last week.
DL: Cesar Azpilicueta
A top performer, Cesar Azpilicueta scored in last week’s win and is sure to continue at left-back depsite the signing of Baba Rahman.

DC: Kurt Zouma
Replacing the suspended John Terry, French youngster Kurt Zouma comes in in defence and will be hoping to take the chance to impress.
DC: Gary Cahill
Chelsea’s defensive leader in Terry’s absence, Gary Cahill is certain to be in the starting XI despite starting on the bench last weekend.
MC: Nemanja Matic
Hugely important to how Chelsea play, Nemanja Matic should remain in the starting line up despite some criticism of the Blues’ midfield displays in general.
MC: Cesc Fabregas
Not at his best at the moment, Cesc Fabregas is first choice to partnet Matic and seems unlikely to be dropped anytime soon.
AMR: Pedro
After a storming debut, Pedro is sure to start for Chelsea again this weekend as he looks to build on his goal and assist against West Brom.
AML: Eden Hazard
Yet to really get going this season, Eden Hazard will be hoping to shine as Chelsea take on Palace at Stamford Bridge.
AMC: Willian
Out of position in the centre, Willian seems the best option to start here in the absence of Oscar, despite not looking entirely convincing at the Hawthorns.
FC: Diego Costa
After an improved display at the Baggies, Diego Costa should lead the line for Chelsea against Palace as he looks to get a good run of form going.
