    Scrappy game. Both defences making errors. Both attacks missing chances. Both midfields working hard. Exactly what you’d expect from a mid-table clash.

    Odsonne Edouard shrugs off Moises Caicedo and goes on a mazy.

    The Palace forward drifts past four Chelsea players before unloading but his shot is blocked. Blues keeper Djordje Petrovic eventually grabs hold of it and gets his team back on that attack.

    What a solid performance from Franca!

    That is some pass as Cole Palmer picks out Raheem Sterling. Just for a second Sterling has a sight of goal but two Palace defenders shuffle across to block his effort.

    Palace full-back Daniel Munoz protests his innocence but picks up a yellow for a foul on Ben Chilwell.

    The visitors can't make anything from the free-kick that follows.

    One sub apiece. Raheem Sterling take over from Nicolas Jackson for Chelsea and Naouirou Ahamada is on for Will Hughes for Palace.

    Sloppy from Jefferson Lerma, who is robbed of the ball in a dangerous place for Palace.

    Cole Palmer picks up the ball and drives at the Palace back line firing a shot through the legs of Chris Richards but straight at Eagles keeper Dean Henderson.

    One player comes on at half time and Chelsea are a different team. Imagine if Poch didn’t have 10 players out injured since pre-season.

    Matheus Franca has a pop from 18 yards. Chelsea keeper Djordje Petrovic is equal to that one mind and pushes it to safety as he dives to his right.

    Calls for a penalty by Chelsea as Palace defender Joachim Andersen clambers over Christopher Nkunku to head clear.

    They'll have to settle for a corner.

    Chelsea are attacking down the right-hand side with a lot more purpose and more quality.

    Jefferson Lerma, a combative midfielder, picks up a yellow card for dissent. That's a cheap one from the Palace man.

    What a cross that is. Moises Caicedo skips past Tyrick Mitchell and whips the ball to the back post.

    Christopher Nkunku can't get to that for Chelsea and Ben Chilwell skies his effort from the edge of the box.

    Palace right-back Daniel Munoz ends up on the right wing here as the hosts try to break. I can only imagine what Roy Hodgson thinks of that.

    Much like the first half Chelsea are weaving pretty patterns with their passing but seem to now be carrying slightly more threat.

    Palace still playing on the counter.

    Chelsea centre-back Thiago Silva looks like he has pulled his groin muscle. Here comes Levi Colwill to take his place.
