Crystal Palace vs Chelsea LIVE: Result and reaction from Premier League fixture today

Chelsea are taking on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park this evening with the chance to climb up to third in the Premier League.

The Blues can tighten their grip on the top four with a victory, climbing above Leicester City, at least until the Foxes play later this evening, while fending off the charge of in-form Manchester United below them.

Palace are looking to end their dismal recent run which has seen them lose their past three league games, as a once-promising season with top-half ambitions is in danger of fading away in disappointment. Follow all the action live:
