Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa have returned to the Chelsea starting lineup for this afternoon's Premier League match at Crystal Palace.

Both Spaniards missed the goalless draw at Manchester United on Monday due to injury and suspension respectively.

Fabregas returns at Nemanja Matic's expense in midfield, while Costa takes Pedro's place to spearhead the attack.

Alan Pardew, meanwhile, has made three changes to the Palace side that started against Swansea City last time out.

In come Damien Delaney, Lee Chung-Yong and Fraizer Campbell, with Brede Hangeland, Yohan Cabaye and Marouane Chamakh dropping out.

Jonathan Williams is also back in the Eagles' squad after being recalled from his loan at Nottingham Forest.
