Crystal Palace V Chelsea - 5 Things To Expect

2. Ivanovic Will Be Happy

In Chelsea's defeat against Palace earlier this season, Branislav Ivanovic was given the run-around by Yannick Bolasie and he will surely be delighted that 'Yala' will be missing through injury. Since his injury, Jason Puncheon has filled in on the left side of Palace's midfield and done reasonably well. Clever in possession and excellent in dead ball situations, Puncheon brings a lot to the side - but what he doesn't bring is pace. Ivanovic will be hoping he starts there again and that he doesn't come up against an in-form Wilfried Zaha.
