Chelsea face Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon in the second FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

The winner will take on either Manchester City or Liverpool on Saturday, 14 May.

In the last fixture between the two London sides, in February, Chelsea came out 1-0 victors at Selhurst Park.

Palace were without on-loan Blues youngster Conor Gallagher that day, and he will be on the sidelines once again on here.

Chelsea are missing Ben Chilwell, who has missed the majority of the season, as well as promising winger Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Edouard Mendy is expected to keep his place in goal, ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Antonio Rudiger and Thiago Silva should remain part of the backline, alongside captain Cesar Azpilicueta in a three-man defence.

Reece James and Marcos Alonso were excellent against Real Madrid and deserve to occupy the wide positions.

N’Golo Kante had, arguably, his worst performance in a Chelsea shirt and could lose his place to Jorginho in a match that the Blues will dominate possession.

Mason Mount hasn’t been at his best for parts of this season, yet has still managed to register 25 goal contributions.

The Englishman forms a trio, alongside Kai Havertz and Timo Werner, that will worry the Palace defence.

Romelu Lukaku’s return from injury might have to come from the bench in the second half at Wembley.
