Enzo Maresca will hope for more of the same from his Chelsea side, especially given their FIFA Club World cup endeavours.

Summer signings Joao Pedro and Liam Delap will naturally be vying for a starting berth in attack, especially given the precarious nature surrounding Nicolas Jackson’s future.

Jamie Gittens has replaced the outgoing Noni Madueke, with expectation higher than ever for the Blues to succeed this season.

Jorrel Hato has also arrived from Ajax, and will fight for a spot alongside fellow centre-backs Tosin Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana this season.

A move for Xavi Simons is still being talked up, and Chelsea have cast aside Raheem Sterling, Christopher Nkunku and Ben Chilwell to find new clubs before the deadline on September 1.

For Palace, just two new faces have joined the club, in Borna Sosa and Walter Benitez, which doesn’t exactly inspire, to say the least.

The huge news is around Eze’s future, firstly, with the England international wanted by both the Gunners and Spurs.

It remains to be seen whether he plays – and valued at £68m – Thomas Frank looks keen to get his man.

Guehi’s move to Merseyside seems to be reaching a conclusion, too, with the club captain on his way out.

Palace will need to reinforce, and quickly, with time running out in the window.

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace: Expected line-ups

FourFourTwo’s prediction

Chelsea 3-1 Crystal Palace

FourFourTwo envisages a routine home win for Chelsea on opening day. Despite Oliver Glasner’s side showing flashes against Liverpool in the Community Shield last weekend, the Blues look a real force this season, and their dominance should shine through across 90 minutes.
