Wilfried Zaha makes his return from injury as Crystal Palace host Chelsea this afternoon.

Wilfried Zaha makes his return from injury as Crystal Palace host Chelsea this afternoon.

The winger features for the first time since suffering an injury in Palace's opening game of the season as they continue their quest for the first goal and first point of their campaign.

Zaha's inclusion represents one of four changes by Roy Hodgson from the side who received a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester United before the international break.

Julian Speroni takes up goalkeeping duty as Wayne Hennessey sits out having picked up a calf problem on international duty with Wales.

Elsewhere, James McArthur and Scott Dann come in in favour of Damien Delaney and the benched Jason Puncheon, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek is unable to play against his parent club.

Visiting Chelsea also display four changes from the lineup that were beaten by Manchester City last time out.

N'Golo Kante and top scorer Alvaro Morata are both enforced changes due to respective hamstring injuries, while Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger drop to the bench.

David Luiz takes up a place in the backline after returning from suspension, while Willian and Michy Batshuayi join Eden Hazard up front and Victor Moses starts on the right wing.

Crystal Palace: Speroni; Ward, Dann, Sakho, Van Aanholt; Milivojevic; Cabaye, McArthur, Townsend, Schlupp; Zaha
Subs: Henry, Tomkins, Fosu-Mensah, Kaikai, Sako, Puncheon, Riedewald

Chelsea: Courtois; Cahill, Luiz, Azpilicueta; Moses, Fabregas, Alonso, Bakayoko; Willian, Hazard, Batshuayi
Subs: Caballero, Rudiger, Pedro, Musonda, Zappacosta, Christensen, Scott
