Chelsea will be looking to take another step towards securing a top-four finish in the Premier League when they face London rivals Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Tuesday night.
Frank Lampard's side returned to winning ways with a 3-0 triumph over Watford on Saturday, bouncing back after a surprise defeat to West Ham United had ended their perfect record since lockdown.
The Blues have won just one of their last six Premier League away games, but take on a Crystal Palace side that has suffered three successive defeats without scoring.
