 The victory is Frank Lampard’s side’s sixth consecutive league win against Crystal Palace for the first time in their history. Ben Chilwell, Zouma and Jorginho were on the score sheet as the Blues moved to fourth on the league table with seven points.

Mendy and Chilwell made their Premier League debuts for Chelsea, while Zouma, Jorginho and Azpilicueta also came in, as well as Callum Hudson-Odoi, who has been heavily linked with a move to Bayern Munich on loan.

Mount, Kovacic, Alonso, Christensen, James and Caballero made way. Roy Hodgson’s side remains unchanged from their 2-1 defeat by Everton on Saturday.

Chelsea possessed 73 per cent of the ball but lacked clear-cut chances as Palace's low block works perfectly to prevent the home side from hurting them.

Ben Chilwell scored his debut goal five minutes into the second half. The former Leicester left-back recovered a fallen ball from the eight-yard box after Kouyate failed to score. He runs onto it and smashed past Guaita from eight yards.

The Eagles pushed back and tried to take control of the game but Chelsea doubled the lead to disappoint their play.

Chilwell's corner was cleared, but Hudson-Odoi spread it back to him on the left. He crossed again, from deep, and Zouma got up really well again to loop a header into the top right corner past Guaita.

Jorginho scored from the spot in the 78-minute after Abraham went in the yard down under a challenge from Mitchell.

The Brazilian scored his second and Chelsea’s fourth from the spot. It was a ball given away by the Palace keeper. He rolled it out to Ayew who was swamped by Chelsea's press, and that led to Havertz flicking it past Sakho who clumsily tripped him in the yard.

Elsewhere at the Goodison, Everton continued their perfect start to the game by hitting four past Brighton & Hove Albion.

James Rodriguez scored two second-half goals before in-form Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed the home side into a 16th-minute lead, only for a Jordan Pickford error to bring the visitors level four minutes before half-time.

However, Yerry Mina headed in James' free-kick in first-half injury time and the Colombia playmaker scored twice in the second period to seal Everton's win before Yves Bissouma's late consolation.

Everton are on top of the league after a perfect start with 12 points.
