Chelsea new boy Pedro has been named in this afternoon's first XI for the visit of Crystal Palace as his Stamford Bridge debut awaits.

The ex-Barcelona forward scored on his bow in last week's 3-2 win at West Bromwich Albion for what was the Blues' first victory of the season.

Jose Mourinho makes one change from that triumph as captain John Terry - who was sent off at The Hawthorns - drops out for Kurt Zouma in defence.

Likewise, Palace boss Alan Pardew also makes one change to his side from their late 2-1 win over Aston Villa last time out, with Connor Wickham replacing striker Glen Murray.

Grief-stricken Yannick Bolasie missed the visit of Villa following the death of his father, but he returns to the squad this afternoon and makes the bench.

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic (c), Cahill, Zouma, Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Pedro, Willian, Hazard; Diego Costa

Crystal Palace: McCarthy, Ward, Dann, Delaney (c), Souare, McArthur, Cabaye, Zaha, Puncheon, Sako, Wickham
