Crystal Palace equalised late to leave Chelsea winless in four Premier League games - and looking over their shoulder in the race for a Champions League slot

Trevoh Chalobah will be left out of the Crystal Palace squad to face Leicester if manager Oliver Glasner feels uncertainty over his future is in danger of becoming a distraction. Glasner has been clear that Chalobah’s involvement in Wednesday night’s match at the King Power Stadium depends on how disruptive the Englishman’s situation proves to his preparations for the match.

Crystal Palace now want to beat a European giant to sign another Chelsea youngster for Oliver Glasner this month, according to a fresh report. Oliver Glasner has already revealed that he expects his side to be busy this January as he looks to continue their upward Premier League trajectory in the second half of the season.
