Is it the last hurrah for this great Crystal Palace team?

The biggest challenge for Crystal Palace is to keep this fantastic team together.

Manager Oliver Glasner picked the same starting XI in the FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May and again in last weekend's Community Shield victory over Liverpool.

There was one change against Chelsea as midfielder Daichi Kamada was replaced by Will Hughes, with the Japanese having picked up an injury in the Wembley shootout win over the Reds.

Glasner clearly knows his best team, but has complained in recent news conferences about a lack of depth - and lack of new players coming in.

For now, Palace remain a strong side, as they showed in this impressive display, but they are likely to get weaker before they can reinforce their ranks.

Spurs are in talks to sign star attacker Eberechi Eze and Liverpool have held discussions over Marc Guehi, who is in the final year of his contract.

There was also a £35m bid from Atalanta for striker Mateta earlier in the summer while there are reports Manchester United are interested in signing Adam Wharton next year.

This Palace team, which won the club's first major trophy and secured European qualification for the first time in history last season, is potentially about to be picked apart by richer rivals.

That fact was not lost on the away support at Stamford Bridge, who were heard chanting against former owner John Textor and Nottingham Forest's Evangelos Marinakis, having been demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League because of multi-club ownership rules.

Having been on the wrong side of the European courts in that case, it is no wonder the away end were chanting "it's not football any more" after they were denied a moment of celebration by VAR when Eze's strike was chalked off.
