Following that loss, Eden Hazard raised eyebrows by saying he could have played for "three hours" and not touched the ball.

Morata has struggled with form and fitness since September, while Giroud has started only one Premier League match since moving to Stamford Bridge in January.

Antonio Conte hinted his Chelsea stars may regret criticism of his tactics by saying he was "killed" for slamming his Juventus coach during his playing days.

Conte said: "Chelsea is his home".

The introduction of Wilfried Zaha after six games out with a knee injury boosted Crystal Palace in the second half but by the time he set up Patrick van Aanholt for a 90th-minute consolation goal, there was no way back for the Eagles. "For me, it's hard to play a good game when you touch the ball only three times".

"I think we can go there and score". To give him the opportunity not to play and to rest. The 23-year-old received criticism since being sent off 30 minutes into a nightmare performance at Watford, and Conte revealed that time away from the pitch has allowed him to work on his confidence. "Now he's training with us for a week". He's a really young player. And then, in the next game, I was on the bench against Piacenza. The Frenchman could partner Andreas Christensen, who has been one of the most impressive Chelsea players this season in the central defence.

"It gives me extra motivation for sure".

Conte played Hazard in the same role against Barcelona in the Champions League last month when Chelsea got a 1-1 draw, which they take to Spain on Wednesday for the return.
