Chelsea travel to south London rivals Crystal Palace seeking back-to-back wins in their final fixture of 2018. Maurizio Sarri's side defeated their opponents in November's reverse fixture and currently sit fourth - sandwiched in between Manchester City and Arsenal. Attacking duo Pedro and Callum Hudson-Odoi are absentees having sustained injuries in Chelsea's win over Watford last time out, whilst Olivier Giroud could make a rare start. Here's how they could could for Sunday's clash.Kepa Arrizabalaga (GK) - Without a clean sheet in his last three league games, the Spaniard will be determined to keep out Palace dangermen Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend. Cesar Azpilicueta (RB) - Previously deployed as a right wing back, Azpilicueta has long cemented his place in this side, demonstrating his influence in both boxes. Antonio Rudiger (CB) - Ever-present for Chelsea this term, the former Roma defender will go head-to-head with the physical figure of Zaha. David Luiz (CB) - A clean sheet for Luiz would be an added bonus after a few questionable performances this term. Marcos Alonso (LB) - Ineffective of late but the Spaniard is capable of match-winning moments from set piece situations. Mateo Kovacic (CM) - Having already made 26 appearances for club and country this season, the on-loan Real Madrid man is looking for a third assist for this campaign. Jorginho (CM) - Most experienced in Sarri's philosophy, the former Napoli midfielder will look to penetrate in between the lines of a typically stubborn Palace defence. N'Golo Kanté (CM) - Starring in a more advanced role, the Frenchman is seeking a third goal of the campaign having come mightily close late on at Watford. Willian (RW) - With two goals and three assists this term, the Brazilian is the Blues' main goal threat aside from Eden Hazard. Olivier Giroud (ST) - Has seen limited action under Sarri but injuries to fellow forwards Pedro and Hudson-Odoi could finally open the door for the striker, who has just one goal in 15 league appearances. Eden Hazard (LW) - Simply sensational, the Belgian has been involved in 19 Premier League goals so far this season (ten goals and nine assists). Having netted his 100th and 101st goals for the club last time out, Hazard will be brimming with confidence.
