London rivals do battle as Chelsea seek to stop the rot at home to Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

The Eagles have leaked only 10 goals on the road in league fixtures this season, a feat that only top three Arsenal, Newcastle and Manchester City can beat (each conceded six away from home). Granted, Patrick Vieira’s side has lost three of their four games since returning to action on Boxing Day, conceding nine goals in the process, but each of those defeats occurred at Selhurst Park, where they’re actually much less resilient. Chelsea has won only one of its last nine fixtures in all competitions and currently sits a miserable 10th in the Premier League, with morale at Stamford Bridge hitting new depths following Thursday’s disastrous 10-man loss against west London rivals Fulham.

Palace will rue missed chances again but Potter will be relieved his side have finally got back to winning ways in the league.

In fact, it was perhaps more that he didn't stand out for any of the wrong reasons that saw him impress in a Blues shirt for the first time since his £35m move from Monaco. Playing next to someone of Silva's calibre and CV might have been a daunting task for some on their Premier League debut but the 21-year-old, whose last match came in mid-November for Monaco, slotted in perfectly to Potter's backline.
