Eberechi Eze is expected to play for Crystal Palace in their Premier League opener against Chelsea. Standard Sport understands that the Eagles star is expected to feature at Stamford Bridge despite Tottenham stepping up their pursuit of the 27-year-old.

Chelsea and Crystal Palace will go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge in their opening Premier League game on Sunday afternoon.

Chelsea and Crystal Palace have both won two trophies each since the end of the last domestic season and will hope to carry that momentum into the first London derby of the new Premier League campaign.
