Chelsea team news: Maresca rings changes, surprise name back in fold

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has rung the changes for Sunday's Premier League game with Crystal Palace.

For Thursday's Europa Conference League playoff tie at Servette, Maresca opted to make eight alterations with this fixture in the back of his mind.

Of the players who started that match, only two remain - Enzo Fernandez and Noni Madueke - with the Italian bringing fresh legs back into the team.

Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto both did not travel to Switzerland, yet the pair are available to take their place in the starting lineup.

The goalkeeper and back four are as expected, while Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson return to the team in the final third.

Perhaps the most notable piece of team news is Cesare Casadei being selected on the substitutes' bench. The Italian had been expected to be sold or loaned out during the final days of the summer transfer window.

Glasner forced into Palace changes

Meanwhile, Palace head coach Oliver Glasner has been forced into alterations from their last Premier League fixture against West Ham United eight days ago.

Defender Chadi Riad sustained a knee injury against Norwich City in the EFL Cup in midweek, while Jefferson Lerma is missing from the squad.

Odsonne Edouard has also made the move to Leicester City, with Nathaniel Clyne, Will Hughes and Daichi Kamada the trio to come into the team.

Chelsea XI: Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez, Palmer; Madueke, Jackson, Neto

Subs: Jorgensen, Tosin, Disasi, Veiga, Dewsberry-Hall, Casadei, Mudryk, Felix, Nkunku
