This Sunday’s meeting between struggling Chelsea and Crystal Palace at the Stamford Bridge is a must-win for the under-fire home team.
The Blues’ 2-1 loss to Fulham in the latest riry match earlier this week increased the pressure on new manager Graham Potter.
Kepa didn’t impress during Fulham’s loss, but as Edouard Mendy is still recovering from a shoulder injury, the former is expected to keep his starting position.
Marc Cucurella is expected to be recalled to the starting lineup on the backline as Potter looks to switch to the 4-3-3 formation that has been used on the show since the season’s resumption.
With Cesar Azpilicueta and Mateo Kovacic anticipated to move to the bench, Jorginho and Hakim Ziyech may compete for a spot on the starting lineup.
After receiving a red card against Fulham, newcomer Joao Felix is expected to serve a three-game suspension, therefore Chelsea will probably rely on Kai Haverzt to lead the line.
