After the FIFA Club World Cup victory last Saturday, Chelsea will be clashing against Crystal Palace tomorrow at Stamford Bridge, as regards their Premier League fixtures for the 2021-2022 campaign. The Thomas Tuchel's men are expected to win the game, because they are literally unbeaten in February.

Meanwhile, there's a particular way Chelsea could lineup against Crystal Palace tomorrow, without the likes of Mason Mount, N'Golo Kante, Romelu Lukaku, Mateo Kovacic, Hakim Ziyech, and Marcos Alonso, so as to prepare vehemently for their UCL match against Lille next week. Nevertheless, the starting XI below is enough to claim 3 points at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Edouard Mendy is expected to start tomorrow, because he started ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga against Palmeiras in the FIFA Club World Cup. Apparently, the Senegalese is able and capable of denying Crystal Palace attackers tomorrow, and can single-handedly give Chelsea a clean sheet.

As regards the formation of 3-4-3, Thiago Silva, Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rüdiger will play as centre-backs, while César Azpilicueta continues as a right-wing-back and Malang Sarr replaces Marcos Alonso as a left-wing-back. The Eagles are kind of dangerous up front with the likes of Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke, but the Blues' back-five is enough to silence them.

N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic are expected to rest ahead of the Lille clash next week. So, Ruben Loftus-Cheek will play as a box-to-box and deep-lying midfielder, since he has been training with the team, whilst Jorginho handles the midfield defensively. As regards this formation, the Englishman will move forward with the ball, so as to create chances and lay passes to break the Crystal Palace defense line.

Apparently, Mason Mount is unavailable tomorrow due to injury, and the likes of Hakim Ziyech, Romelu Lukaku, and Callum Hudson-Odoi need to rest. As a result, Timo Werner will drive from the left-wing, Christian Pulisic from the right-wing, and Kai Havertz will play as a false No.9. Of course, the German youngster always delivers from that position, so Chelsea are expected to score some goals tomorrow, even without Romelu Lukaku and the rest.

Can Chelsea win against Crystal Palace tomorrow with this lineup?
