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.

Did not see a way back into this for Palace, but Zaha had other ideas. With not much on, Zaha lets fly from 30 yards, and it flies into the roof of the net. Kepa could have done better, but take nothing away from that strike. HIs first goal of 2020.

SAVE! Brilliant stop from Vicente Guaita to deny Willian. Pulisic shows he can turn provider, setting up Willian after a mazy run, the Brazilian tries to do Guaita with the eyes, but fails to wrong-foot the Palace stopper who makes a fine save.

The new Eden Hazard?
30'
Palace look beaten already. Chelsea have so much quality in wide areas and they are punishing the hosts.
28'
Willian with another assist! The Brazilian lays it across for Pulisic, who shifts the ball very quickly onto his left foot before rifling the ball into the net at the near post. Great finish.

First time we have seen anything from Wilfried Zaha, but the move comes to nothing for Palace. DRINKS TIME!

Pulisic tries to dart through the gap but Patrick van Aanholt steps across to make the interception.

Gilmour looks to be moving fine now. Chelsea are keeping the ball really well at the moment.

Seem to have cursed Gilmour as he looks to be limping.
