They are complete and absolutely hopeless at the mo. If our squad cannot win this then there is no hope for them.

Some rest after internationals.

 
Do we have Luiz back for this?? If so I would consider putting him in midfield and rest Kante who looked shattered yesterday and probably can do with a rest, especially if he plays both games for France. Same goes for Bakayoko, if we have Drinkwater back I would play him instead. We have this game, Roma and Watford in the space of 7 days and this is by far our easies match so I would rest quite a few player actually.

Palace ore the worst team in this league, so this team should easily be good enough for the win. Bring on Baka or Fab in the 2nd half for Drinkwater, Pedro for Willian and Hazard for Kenedy or Musonda. Hazard and Pedro will tear apart a tired Palace defence that are leaking goals for fun.

October looks an easier month in terms of quality of opposition, but the games still come thick and fast, so squad rotation is key. We have 6 games in a 17 day period and this is our easiest match.

Also, I'm going to have another rant. We play Roma after this game on a Wednesday night and then Watford on The lunchtime kickoff on Saturday. WTF????.

I know that Roma and Watford aren't as tough as Atletico and City, but it's not that easy either. Roma are a very decent side and Watford are in form, 5th in the league and only 1 point behind us as things stand. Big clubs at the other top leagues normally get protected from this sort of thing from happening, yet we get screwed over time and time again.

 
I just hope we don't give them their first goal of the season! I'd love to see some fringe players get some time here but keep a stacked back line: dave - christensen - rudiger

When is Drinky going to be ready to go? I'd love to see him with Kante in the middle.

RLC can't play against us either, can he?  He's looked one of their better players.

We should be winning this one, but with Chelsea you just never know.

I would like us to line up in this way. Willian and Pedro just are cutting it for me. Musonda is a real talent and I think he can show people exactly how good he is if given a shot (aka Andreas).

Andreas should be a definite starter. One of our best, if not our best CB. Alonso should get the pressure of losing his place to give him a kick on his back side. Has been poor in the last games. Cesc has no place in the team. Sorry, but its true.

This game is essential for the rotation, Conte must absolutely change a few players before the game against AS Roma, because after we play only saturday at 12:30  

I see

Azpi-Christensen-Luiz

Zappa-Bakayoko-Drinkwater-Kennedy

Hazard-Michy-Musonda

 
I guess its a matter of who comes back fit or injured from the internationals. Morata won't be fit for a while so Michy will have to up his game for the next few weeks.  Can only see 3 points but I think we will be Palace's first victim in regards to them scoring.

Get a number of players rested without weakening the team too much. They're still a premier league team at the end of the day and anything can happen. 

 
Have I missed something? Why are people putting Kante out the team? Regardless if the team needs rotating, he is very important and is an engine. No way will he be left. I think people are getting complacent because of Palace form. Look, it is still a PL game, not a Carabao cup fixture. I get a lot of people want Musonda to start but let's face it. Not going to happen.

 
The better player from Palace will be missing (Loftus Cheek), but it will take this game with serious despite that Palace have always 0 win

Difference between Christensen and Musonda is the former is battle hardened and ready for the first team. Charly, to put it bluntly, isn't.

 
Must win should win but I bet my left nut palace score their first goal of the season against us... ::ChELSeAFaN::
