CB – Thiago Silva
The Brazilian was as imperious as ever to help Chelsea keep a clean sheet against Palace.
Considering he had to marshal a defence with a new centre-back partner as well, is a testament to his ability and leadership skills.
Silva will need to use all of his experience in order to get the better of Darwin Nunez, who is a handful. The Uruguayan is expected to be fit after missing the Reds’ last two fixtures.
