Back at Stamford Bridge, he has suffered a difficult start to the season. Since then Thomas Tuchel has been sacked and Potter saw his draw to RB Salzburg in the Champions League, a performance where the Blues’ shortcomings at both ends of the pitch were evident. “It’s been challenging for him because he hasn’t played as much as he was expecting. “When I joined Ostersunds in 2016, I felt that we would achieve something together. “For me, he is the special one,” striker Alhaji Gero, who played under Potter at Ostersunds, tells Standard Sport.

Ben Chilwell and Wesley Fofana are the players coming into the starting line-up. With Edou Mendy still recovering from a knee problem, Kepa continues in goal.

‘I love the atmosphere there, it’s a proper football stadium and the supporters get behind the team and make it difficult for the away side, whoever it is,' he said. Defender James Tomkins returns from a calf strain. [N'Golo Kante](/en/teams/profile/ngolo-kante) and [Edouard Mendy ](/en/teams/profile/edouard-mendy)are both back in training following hamstring and knee injuries respectively, but this match comes too soon for them to play.

Chelsea looks to keep up its top-four pace when it visits impressive and upstart Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

“Hopefully I can build a bit of confidence with the goal and push on. No small contribution for a player currently out in the cold. Chelsea hit back through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the 38th minute, setting the stage for Gallagher to come off the bench and score the stunning winner. When Kai Havertz came off in the 76th minute, rather than inserting Pulisic (or any other attacking player for that matter) into the game, Potter instead brought on an extra central midfielder in Gallagher. Odsonne Edouard got on the end of a fantastic cross from Jordan Ayew in the 7th minute as Crystal Palace began brightly and threatened in behind on a number of occasions early on. Referee Chris Kavanagh showed Silva a yellow card, deeming that either (or a combination of) the distance from goal (roughly 35 yards out) and at least one recovering defender meant there wasn’t an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to be denied.

Chelsea will travel to Crystal Palace later today in Graham Potter's first Premier League game in charge of the club.

Elsewhere, the team largely picks itself, with Wilfried Zaha key in attacking areas. As it stands, the former Brighton manager’s side sit seventh in the table and a win feels particularly important, as obvious as that is to say. Palace, meanwhile, have won only once in seven games thus far, albeit having put in some impressive performances at times.
