Fixture: Chelsea vs Crystal Palace
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)
Premier League champions Chelsea have announced their side to take on Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho has picked Diego Costa to spearhead his side's attack, while the Spain international will be supported by Eden Hazard, Willian and new signing Pedro Rodriguez. Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic patrol the centre of the park.
On the bench, Mourinho can turn to Radamel Falcao and Loic Remy if he needs to throw on further attacking options, while another new signing is included in the shape of Kenedy.
Chelsea recorded their first win of the season last weekend by beating West Brom 3-2 away from home and Mourinho will be desperate for them to clock up a second successive victory against Palace.
