The Belgium winger was a doubt in the build up to the game but he is expected to play some part at Stamford Bridge.

Ross Barkley is also expected to get the nod in midfield alongside Jorginho and N’Golo Kante.

Crystal Palace have Wilfried Zaha available but Connor Wickham joins Christian Benteke, Scott Dann and Joel Ward on the treatment table.

Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri said on Eden Hazard's fitness: "Yesterday Eden had a large part of training with the team. Maybe he will not be ready to play for 90 minutes at the moment because it was his first training in the last two weeks.

"But probably he will be able to play for 40, 45 minutes. So for us it's important."

  

Crystal Palace manger Roy Hodgson: "We can't disguise the enormity of the task.

"We can't make out it will be easier than it is going to be, but we have played well against Liverpool and Arsenal. Our belief and confidence is based on that.

"I don't prepare for teams to underestimate us, because I think we have done enough not to be underestimated. I don't think anyone will see it as a foregone conclusion

  C                                      helsea are hoping to go level with Liverpool on 27 points at the top of the Premier League.

Manchester City do, though, play first and would pull onto 29 with a win over Southampton.

Chelsea boss Sarri has admitted he doesn’t know if Victor Moses or Danny Drinkwater have futures at the club.

He said: "I think the situation is that Drinkwater for me is not suitable for a midfield (ahead of Jorginho or Fabregas) with two midfielders. I told him two months ago what I think.

"Moses is more suitable for playing like a wing back, than a winger or a full back. Do they have a future at Chelsea? I don’t know. They have to improve but their characteristics are a little bit different."

Chelsea have agreed to sign England and Everton midfielder Ross Barkley

Chelsea closing in on £15million signing of Ross Barkley from Everton? Friday's transfer news and gossip

Ross Barkley is set to join Chelsea in a £15million deal, after Tottenham pulled their interest in the Everton midfielder.

Barkley, 24, decided against a move to Chelsea on the final day of the summer transfer window to fully concentrate on his recovery from a serious hamstring injury.

The England midfielder has not featured for Everton all season, but recently returned to training with the first team and has played in a behind closed doors friendly.

He could have a medical as soon as today before completing his protracted move.

Barkley's contract expires at Goodison Park in the summer, and both Chelsea and Spurs have been monitoring his progress.

But Mirror Sport understands that Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will focus on alternative targets, leaving Chelsea with a free run.

Everton manager Sam Allardyce confirmed on Thursday that Barkley's departure from Merseyside is just a matter of when, not if.

The Toffees boss declared: "The club was resigned to losing Ross before I got here. I can't see that changing."

Chelsea want Diego Simeone to replace Antonio Conte as head coach at the end of the season. The club have no plans to sack Conte but, with issues over Chelsea’s transfer policy and management structure, there is a widespread expectation at Stamford Bridge that both parties will come to a mutual agreement on his exit in the summer.

The Italian signed a new contract at Chelsea last summer but did not extend its length and will only have one year remaining after this campaign. Chelsea have therefore begun the process of looking at alternatives, with Simeone top of their shortlist.

The Atletico Madrid coach was considered before Conte was appointed two years ago but was unwilling to leave the Spanish capital before the club moved…
