Crystal Palace face another London derby this weekend as they travel to Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea.

Roy Hodgson’s men put in a spirited performance as they came from behind to earn a point at home to Unai Emery’s Arsenal last weekend, but those spirits were dampened following their midweek cup loss to Middlesbrough.

A weakened Chelsea meanwhile were made to work hard for their 3-2 win over Frank Lampard’s Derby in the EFL Cup, but the regulars were in full flow last weekend as they breezed past Burnley with a 4-0 victory to keep the pressure on leaders Manchester City.

Davide Zappacosta - 9

He was superb on the right wing. His crosses caused so many problems for the centre backs and led to two goals. He was quick on the overlap and as good an attacking presence as the front men

Gary Cahill - 5

N'Golo Kante - 7

The man was surely made in a laboratory, he is unflappable and commands a presence wherever he is on the pitch. Brilliantly competent if not spectacular.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek - 7

Someone get him a McDonald’s because he was hungry all night. He ran his socks off trying to get a goal and was a crucial component in the second and third goals for Chelsea.

Player to watch…

Ross Barkley: The 24-year-old put in a stellar display for the Blues with a goal and two assists at Turf Moor last weekend. The former Everton man scored for the third game in a row, the first Englishman to do so for the FA Cup holders since Frank Lampard in February 2013. He will be looking to put in another match-winning performance this weekend to carry on his impressive form.
