CRYSTAL PALACE welcome the champions Chelsea to Selhurst Park still searching for their first goal and point of the Premier League season.
After seven defeats on the spin and a new manager at the helm, Roy Hodgson is trying to stay positive despite heavy losses away to the Manchester clubs.
Antonio Conte’s side were also stung by City last time out, crashing to a second home defeat of the season – leaving them fourth and 6 points off the pace.
But away from home they’ve been exceptional, winning their three games on the road at Spurs, Leicester and Stoke by an aggregate of 8-2.
What time is kick-off?
THIS one takes place on Saturday October 14 at Selhurst Park.
Things get underway at the traditional time of 3pm.
Which channel can I watch it on?
UNFORTUNATELY the game isn’t being show live in the UK.
But worry not, as you can stay with us right here on SunSport and follow our dedicated Premier League blog from 2pm.
What is the team news?
PALACE are without their principal goal threats in Christian Benteke and Wilried Zaha.
Scott Dann has a knock and Sam Tomkins an illness, but both should be fit to face the Blues at the weekend.
For Chelsea, Danny Drinkwater is nearing fitness and will be hoping to make his long awaited debut.
But N’Golo Kante limped off for France against Bulgaria and could miss out with a hamstring problem, whilst Alvaro Morata won’t feature.
