Premier League: Chelsea 1-0 Crystal Palace as it happened - Blues record first win of 2023

Indeed, Andersen cannot continue and he'll be replaced by Tomkins.

A concern for Palace as Andersen requires treatment on his knee. It will be a blow if he can't continue.

Chukwuemeka's cross finds Ziyech at the far post, his cross appears to hit the arm of Mitchell but Chelsea's half-hearted appeals for a spot-kick are ignored by the referee.

Ziyech lifts a delicious cross into the box, it looks for all the world that Havertz will head Chelsea into the lead with Guaita all at sea but the forward gets underneath it and fails to hit the target.

Mykhailo Mudryk has finalised his move from Shakhtar Donetsk after agreeing personal terms with Chelsea.

Doucoure is the first player into the referee's notebook today for a foul on Gallagher.

Guaita is forced into a save for the first time this afternoon, denying Silva's volley after Palace failed to clear from a corner.

Zaha tees up Olise who flashes a volley at goal, forcing a save out of Kepa at full stretch.

Palace fashion an opportunity after Gallagher concedes possession in midfield, as Olise stands up a cross to the far post but Kepa makes the save from Mitchell's volley.

Mount tries to wrap his foot around the ball as he delivers a cross to the near post but it's straight into the gloves of Guaita.

Doucoure is caught in possession on the edge of his own penalty area by Havertz but makes a vital recovery.

In a clever attack down the right, Ziyech exchanges passes with Mount before searching for the run of Havertz. However, the through ball has too much pace and the ball rolls into the gloves of Guaita.

Zaha lifts the ball over the head of Badiashile but Kepa is off his line quickly to head away.

Palace seem to have weathered the early storm and are now growing into the contest.

Silva's header drifts over the bar, but plenty for Potter to be encouraged by so far.

Intricate passing from Chelsea as they launch another attack and they have a corner as Mount's cross is deflected behind the away goal.

Chelsea have started with intensity and purpose. An early goal would do their confidence the world of good.

Hall bursts into the penalty area with real intent and drills a dangerous ball across the face of goal. Palace manage to scramble it clear.

Palace get us under way at Stamford Bridge.

A minute's applause begins for Gianluca Vialli, who sadly passed away at the age of 58 last week.

Chelsea: Kepa, Chalobah, Silva, Badiashile, Gallagher, Mount, Jorginho, Chukwuemeka, Hall, Ziyech, Havertz.

Crystal Palace: Guaita, Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Schlupp, Doucoure, Eze, Olise, Ayew, Zaha.
