Chelsea are beginning to dominate now and they're going to have to keep on pushing. It's clear though that the international break has impacted on them - all their players who were away look tired.
Often, Antonio Conte's late changes do impact on games. But is it too late?
Crystal Palace 2-1 Chelsea
Another save from Julian Speroni, whose hands are stung by Davide Zappacosta's shot from a corner.
Palace are holding on for the time being.

Charly Musonda comes on for Willian in Chelsea's final change.
It's the 20-year-old's second Premier League appearance for the Blues.
Meanwhile, Pedro paces forward after being set up by Hazard and forces Julian Speroni into a low save.

Davide Zappacosta thinks he's snuck in behind the Palace defence to reach a lovely ball over the top from Cesc Fabregas, but Sian Massey-Ellis has her flag up for offside.
Repeat again for a second time a minute later. Another tight call, but another correct one.

Willian whistles a corner into the box but Marcos Alonso can't get his strawberry blonde locks on to it.
Palace may need to hang on a bit here. You feel Chelsea are building up to something.

Crystal Palace 2-1 Chelsea
Chelsea threaten with a pacey attack from Eden Hazard and Pedro.
But Willian's ball into the box is really poor. It's cleared by Mamdou Sakho.
Pedro then hits a tame effort into the palms of Julian Speroni.
Crystal Palace 2-1 Chelsea
Pedro is waiting to come on for Chelsea.
It's Michy Batshuayi who makes way.
Crystal Palace 2-1 Chelsea
Andros Townsend and Wilfried Zaha continue to pose questions for the Chelsea defence.
Zaha paces up the right, feeds to Townsend, and the Palace number 10 sends the ball into the box for his team-mate, before the visitors clear.

Cesc Fabregas takes another hit from distance but this one ends up in row Z.
Chelsea are turning the screws.

A great hit from distance by Fabregas, rattling the crossbar. I'm not convinced Speroni would have got there had it been on target.
But Chelsea remain pedestrian and I wouldn't be surprised if Conte makes a change soon...

Cesc Fabregas is supplied by Marcos Alonso and takes a wonderful strike at goal from 25 yards out. It comes off the top of the crossbar and bounces over, but it was a good effort.
Crystal Palace 2-1 Chelsea
Luka Milivojevic punts the ball into the path of Wilfried Zaha but the Palace goalscorer can't get control of it and it rolls out of play.
Palace remain positive.
Crystal Palace 2-1 Chelsea
Oooh, an early test for Thibaut Courtois from Yohan Cabaye.
The Palace midfielder has a go from distance and it's got some power on it. The Chelsea keeper's got it covered though.

Antonio Conte looks a little pensive as he patrols the technical area. What's he got up his sleeve for Crystal Palace to deal with?
We're back under way.
