FT: Palace 0-1 Chelsea. Costa's 13th of the season moves Chelsea nine points clear courtesy of an 11th straight league win. Palace remain 16th, three points off the relegation places with their rivals yet to play this weekend.
Chelsea very close now to 11 out of 11. A new club record in the same season....

Five minutes added. Hope for Palace!

Chelsea remain a very real threat on the counter.
