The Blues return to domestic action just weeks after being crowned Club World Cup champions in the United States, where they stunned PSG 3-0 in the final.
Enzo Maresca’s side have had a short turnaround, with less than a month’s rest and two further friendlies against AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen, but optimism is high following significant summer investment in attacking talent.
Chelsea’s dominance in this fixture is clear, having won 14 of their last 16 league meetings with Palace.
For the visitors, it has already been a historic year. Oliver Glasner guided Palace to their first major trophy in 119 years by lifting the FA Cup, followed by victory in the Community Shield against Liverpool.
Controversy over European qualification means the Eagles face a Conference League play off rather than Europa League football.
Palace endured a slow start last season, managing just two wins in their first 15 league games, and Glasner will be eager to see his side hit the ground running.
