Chelsea lineup vs. Crystal Palace: Predicted XI for Sunday's Premier League clash

Sports Mole looks at how Chelsea could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.

Despite having an extremely bloated squad at his disposal, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca may already have found his strongest XI ahead of the visit of Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Everything clicked for the Blues in the second half of their 6-2 drubbing of Wolverhampton Wanderers last week, and the team which came out after the interval could be the one which starts here.

Mykhaylo Mudryk started at Molineux, but was replaced by Pedro Neto at half time, before Chelsea went on the rampage, scoring four unanswered goals to win 6-2.

The Ukrainian winger started again in midweek and failed to make much of an impact against Servette in Conference League qualifying, so that could see Neto come in for a full debut.

Noni Madueke's hat-trick, set up entirely by Cole Palmer, saw him called up by England this week, and the two are set to start again in attack before joining up for Lee Carsley's first games in charge of the Three Lions.

Maresca rather reluctantly had to utilise Palmer in midweek though, as Chelsea fell behind on the night and had just a one-goal advantage on aggregate, but they were able to see it out.

The manager made eight changes to the side that beat Wolves, as Madueke and Enzo Fernandez were surprise starters in Geneva, along with Mudryk on the left, but none of those brought into the side are likely to have impressed enough to warrant another start.

On the injury front, Romeo Lavia remains out with a hamstring problem picked up after he made his belated full Chelsea debut against Manchester City on the opening day.

Reece James is also absent as he battles back from yet another setback, but had he been fit, the right-back would have been suspended anyway following a red card carried over from last season.

Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Pedro Neto; Jackson
