Chelsea FC make a short trip to face Crystal Palace on Sunday. Here is the strongest line-up that Guus Hiddink can field as he seeks the win.
Chelsea sit only three points above the relegation zone after drawing their last two fixtures against Watford and Manchester United. While a point appeared like a decent result away at Old Trafford, the fact that United were in such a fragile state meant that the victory was there for the taking.
Nevertheless, the Blues still find themselves in 14th position and in serious trouble. Three points are vital this weekend as they travel to Selhurst Park but Alan Pardew’s Crystal Palace will pose a very stern test. Flying high in fifth place, the Eagles will not afford Chelsea an inch as a loss could drop them to depths of 10th place should other results conspire against them.
With the Blues squad suffering from a plethora of injuries, here is Hiddink’s strongest possible starting eleven for Sunday’s game.
