Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior will take charge of his first Premier League away game when his side visit Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The former Strasbourg manager has taken charge of the Blues four times – across four competitions – so far, winning three times and losing once.
The west London outfit currently sit sixth in the Premier League table, although victory at Selhurst Park could move them as high as fourth if other results go their way.
Ahead of their game against Palace, it has emerged that Chelsea have been monitoring a Ligue 1 attacker.
As per CaughtOffside, Chelsea are one of several English sides that have been scouting Rennes striker Kader Meite.
The report claims that Chelsea, Manchester United, Brighton and Hove Albion, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Brentford have all been keeping tabs on the 18-year-old.

Meite joined Rennes’ youth system back in 2022 and has now made more than 30 appearances for the French side across all competitions since graduating into the senior setup.
The teenager has scored five goals and provided two assists for Rennes, and the report suggests that his explosive pace and impressive finishing have put him on the radar of several Premier League sides.
So far this term the youngster has scored three times in 17 French top flight matches, as well as registering two assists.
Meite is contracted to Rennes until the end of the 2027/28 campaign, but it appears that the Ligue 1 outfit could face a battle to keep hold of the player beyond this summer.
The report suggests that all seven interested Premier League clubs have sent scouts to watch the striker in action in recent months, as he continues to establish himself as one of the most talented young attackers in Europe.
