Crystal Palace will welcome Chelsea to Selhurst Park this weekend.
After victory against Brentford last weekend, Liam Rosenior faces another London rival for his second Premier League game in charge of the Blues.
Chelsea's record against the Eagles has been historically positive, but the last three meetings have ended all square - including a 0-0 stalemate earlier in the season.
Oliver Glasner has agreed to put his frustrations behind him following a public outburst at the club's hierarchy, but will now need to focus on league form in order to avoid falling further down the league table, and to keep the club in a stable position to pass on to his successor.
Crystal Palace
Oliver Glasner will be handed a big boost in the midst of his squad depth dilemma - as both Daniel Munoz and Nathaniel Clyne have been deemed fit enough to return to team training.
Elsewhere, Ismailia Sarr is once again available for selection after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations with tournament winners Senegal.
Midfielders Daichi Kamada, Cheick Doucoure, Rio Cardines and Caleb Kporha remain sidelined with injury. Eddie Nketiah is the only other likely absentee; the striker has dealt with constant hamstring issues this season.
Jean-Phillipe Mateta should lead the line on Sunday. The French forward has a contract that runs until next summer and has been assessing possible moves away from the club - however he has not yet handed in a transfer request, according to Glasner.
Chelsea
Liam Rosenior’s side seem to have overcome the worst of the ‘virus’ that has kept several of their players out with illness - including Jamie Gittens, Liam Delap, and Enzo Fernandez - who played both halves in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Filip Jorgensen could only manage the first half of that game, as he was forced off with a knock. However, a scan revealed the injury is not serious, and he is expected to return next week for Chelsea’s final group game against Napoli.
In the midfield, Dario Essugo is expected to be out for the next month following a freak injury in team training, whilst Romeo Lavia is still being managed as he continues to return to full fitness.
Cole Palmer was absent from midweek European duties due to a recurring groin problem, but Rosenior said he was in a ‘good place’.
Finally, defender Tosin Adarabioyo will miss the match with a hamstring issue.
Predicted Lineups

Henderson; Lerma, Lacroix, Richards, Mitchell, Hughes, Wharton, Munoz, Pino, Johnson, Mateta.
Chelsea
Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Badiashile, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Neto, Palmer, Garnacho, Pedro.
Players to Watch
Crystal Palace - Daniel Munoz
If he’s deemed fit enough to start, wing-back Daniel Munoz could be a real boost for Palace as they hope to overturn an unfortunate period of form.
Munoz is a regular top performer for the Eagles - only Mateta has more league goal contributions than the wing-back.
He’s tailor made for his position and demonstrates fantastic work rate to bomb up and down the flank, creating several high-quality chances and keeping tabs on his winger in defence.
Justin Devenney has filled in for the meantime - but seems to thrive more in the middle of the pitch, so Munoz could be key to getting Palace back on a positive track.
Chelsea - Cole Palmer
Palace have lost their last ten matches in all competitions, and are defensively shaky following the departure of club captain Marc Guehi.
That leaves an optimal environment for Cole Palmer to push through his goal contribution struggles and get back on form.
Chelsea’s number ten has been a shadow of his former self this season - in part due to a consistent groin injury and fitness issues that have taken a toll.
New club head coach Liam Rosenior has made a point to give Palmer plenty of time to rest and recover - and games such as this one are perfect opportunities to restore his confidence.
Palmer’s last two goals have come from the penalty spot, and he has not registered an assist since the Club World Cup final in July. Furthermore, Chelsea’s upcoming league run is a lenient one, with games against bottom of the table West Ham, Leeds United and Wolves.
If he can hit the ground running here, there’s potential for a run of positive performances in the near future.
