They’ve already been crowned the new unbeatables by some, but can Chelsea do it on a mildly sunny afternoon in south London? Today’s task for Hazard and co: grab maximum points against Crystal Palace.

Fabregas nutmegs Kelly and almost finds Oscar. Almost perfect.

"Oleeeee, Ole, Ole, Ole... Chelsea, Chelsea". The home fans are silent for the first time all match.

Palace’s response? Kick the ball out of play.

GOAL! Palace 0-2 Chelsea. Fabregas feeds a team-mate, receives the ball back as the Chelsea passing machine clicks into action. The Spaniard releases possession, roams beyond the last defender, latches onto an Oscar pass and sends Speroni the wrong way with a clever finish. Glorious team goal.

Fabregas has a crack from distance. Woeful.

Martin Kelly needlessly nibbles at Hazard inside his own half. Chance for Chelsea from the free-kick.

Want an action shot of today's match? Well, you're in luck.

Chelsea start knocking the ball about in midfield with intent. Palace happy to sit off their opponents.

It's 10-a-side as Palace kick off the second half.

HALF-TIME: Palace 0-1 Chelsea. A very tasty conclusion to the half. This one probably won’t be finishing 10 v 10.

Palace start a swift, short passing routine. Sadly, it all ends when the ball inadvertently strikes a yellow shirt. Quick formation update: both sides have gone 4-4-1. Quick atmosphere update: Exceptionally lively. Quick mood update: Everyone hates everyone.

Puncheon fouled by Luis on the edge on the box. Time to grab a late leveller?

CHANCE! Matic heads wide from the resulting free-kick. What a mad few minutes in south London...

Filipe Luis replaces Willian and goes straight into the Azpilicueta-shaped hole.

ANOTHER RED! Delaney trips Remy on the edge of the penalty area. He’s walking for a second yellow… What a mug.

DOUBLE BOOKING! Campbell and Fabregas go into the book.

RED CARD! Cesar Azpilicueta flies in with his boot raised. Will that be a yellow? No! It’s a huge roar from the home faithful and a flash of red from the ref! Campbell and Fabregas start kicking off in the background...

The Chelsea fans start singing their team’s name over and over and over and over.

Palace are continuing to send men forward, but Chelsea are dictating most of the play.

Oh dear. Remy watches the ball skim off a Palace head and out for a corner. Except the referee awards a goalkick. Oops.
