The Blues featured three new faces from the eleven that started against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, with Cesar Azpilicueta Andreas Christensen and Jorginho recalled.
Chelsea looked to register first following the earlier exchanges when a cross-cum shot left of the area by Mason Mount, but it was easily repelled by Palace goalkeeper Jack Butland. More forays from the Blues came before the half-hour mark with a teasing cross from Jorginho to which Azpilicueta couldn’t connect, as Ruben Loftus-Cheek replaced an injured Mateo Kovacic.Palace looked dangerous on the transition spearheaded by Wilfred Zaha and on a few occasions came close to profit from such a scenario as the half entered the final stages.
The Blues got the breakthrough on 65 minutes when Kai Havertz's cross deflected into the path of Loftus-Cheek who volleyed home via a deflection. Mason Mount sealed the win for the European champions with 14 minutes remaining after calmly slotting into the far corner after being teed up Timo Werner.
