Roy Hodgson braced for Chelsea backlash

The Blues have suffered back-to-back league defeats and trail fourth-placed Tottenham by five points and seventh-placed Liverpool with nine matches remaining.

Antonio Conte believes Chelsea can not afford to drop any more points in their pursuit of a top-four Premier League finish, starting against Crystal Palace this evening.

With a massive Champions League second leg against Barcelona on Wednesday, Conte's lineup will give a clear indication about his priorities for the remainder of the season.

"Given our position in the league at the moment, it is hugely important that we win this game, and all the fixtures until the end of the season are vital now", Cahill wrote in his programme notes ahead of the game.

"So we have to be mindful of that, but it's about us going anf getting a win today. We have to go".

Eden Hazard had spoken at his frustration at playing as a "false nine" in last Sunday's lacklustre loss at Manchester City.

"Sometimes the critics are constructive, sometimes [they] are rubbish", Conte added.

"I don't think we had all 11 doing that in the first half".

Tiemoue Bakayoko is a doubt, whilst David Luiz has suffered a setback as he struggles to overcome a knee injury.

There is a return for N'Golo Kante to the heart of Chelsea's midfield with the Frenchman having missed the loss to City after reportedly fainting in training.

For Palace - beaten in heartbreaking fashion at home to Manchester United on Monday - it was a another case of what might have been, with Roy Hodgson's side seeing a late strike by Alexander Sorloth's disallowed after a foul inside the box.

Chelsea skipper Gary Cahill has said that his side are expecting "a tough encounter" when they welcome Crystal Palace to Stamford Bridge this evening.
