Crystal Palace v Chelsea line-ups: Hazard decision, Fabregas axed, Palace man back

Eden Hazard returns to the Chelsea line-up for the trip to Crystal Palace, but Cesc Fabregas is dropped to the bench.

Hazard, who was rested for the win at Sunderland on Wednesday with a minor injury, comes in for Pedro.

Fabregas, the match-winner at the Stadium of Light, makes way for Nemanja Matic as boss Antonio Conte opts for a more physical midfield.

Chelsea are chasing a club-record equalling 11th consecutive Premier League win.

Palace also make two changes, with Jason Puncheon back from suspension and Joe Ledley coming in for Mathieu Flamini.

Crystal Palace: Hennessey; Ward, Dann, Delaney, Kelly; Zaha, Cabaye, McArthur, Ledley, Puncheon; Benteke.
Subs: Speroni, Fryers, Husin, Mutch, Lee, Townsend, Campbell.

Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill (c); Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Willian, Diego Costa, Hazard.
Subs: Begovic, Ivanovic, Zouma, Chalobah, Fabregas, Pedro, Batshuayi.
