Chelsea coach Antonio Conte has named his starting line-up for the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon, starting from 1500 hours.
The big news pertaining to Nigeria fans is Super Eagles winger Victor Moses was unable to pass a late fitness test and has not been named in the Blues 18-man squad for a Premier League fixture for the first time this season.
