Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage as Chelsea look to go third in the Premier League with victory at Crystal Palace. The Blues got over their blip at West Ham with a win over Watford last time out, and another three points will see them, for a few hours at least with Leicester playing later tonight at Arsenal, climb into third. Palace are safe, but have lost their last three in a row without scoring.

End of 2nd Half
90+5'
FT: C Palace 2-3 Chelsea. Game of the restart? Incredible stuff here. Somehow Chelsea come away with the three points, but fair play to the hosts, who were excellent in the second half. Chelsea go third, for now. What a game! Thanks for joining us! Goodnight.
90+5'
OH MY WORD! Incredible scenes here as Dann arrives at the back post, heads for the bottom corner, looks to have equalised, but the ball comes out off the post and away.
90+4'
Van Aanholt feeds Benteke, who turns and shoots, but his shot is blocked.
90+2'
NO PENALTY Kouyate hits the deck and is screaming for a penalty, but nothing is given. VAR has a look and says no, too.
90'
Five minutes of added time here. Can Palace sneak a point?

SAVE! Super stop from Guaita to top Mount's guided effort just past the post. Willian again with the assist.

James does really well to snuff out the danger and keep Zaha at bay.

Jorginho's role in this is simple - slow the game down. And Chelsea are enjoying much more possession now.

Double change for Palace, as James McCarthy and Andros Townsend come on for Ayew and McArthur.

James whips one of those trademark crosses into the middle, but Guaita comes out to claim.

That is a long time!

Palace are starting to commit lots of bodies forward. You feel there is another goal in this.
-
No it is not.
75'
That is exactly what Palace deserve really. Not the best defending from Chelsea, who look vulnerable defensively.
73'
Wow! The Chelsea players were still celebrating as Van Aanholt sneaks in, feeds it across for Benteke, who taps home his first goal since February to put Palace right back in this.
72'
GGGOOOOOAAALLLLL!!! C Palace 2-3 Chelsea. Well that didn't last long as Benteke gets Palace back in it within a minute!
