The upcoming clash between Chelsea and Crystal Palace in the Premier League is set to unfold without the presence of Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer. Following their fifth booking of the season during the recent 2-1 defeat against Wolves, the English duo is now facing a one-match ban. Additionally, Nicolas Jackson, who received his eighth yellow card, is on the brink of a two-game suspension upon reaching his tenth booking. The defeat at Wolves saw Mario Lemina and Matt Doherty secure goals for the hosts, with Christopher Nkunku netting one for the Blues at the Molineux. Consequently, Chelsea finds themselves in 10th place with 22 points.
