Chelsea entertained Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge earlier this afternoon as they looked to earn a win in the London derby. The Blues made a decent start to the game but were held to a scoreless draw at the half-time break.<\/p>\n

Enzo Maresca\u2019s men pushed on in search of the winning goal in the second half but failed to find the cutting edge in front of the Palace goal. The Blues had to settle for a lackluster 0-0 draw in front of their home fans.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at how each Chelsea<\/a> player performed during the clash against the Eagles.<\/p>\n

GK: Robert Sanchez \u2013 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sanchez made a few solid saves at the back and did enough to secure a clean sheet this afternoon.<\/p>\n

RB: Reece James \u2013 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He performed his defensive duties well and made some inviting chances going forward.<\/p>\n

CB: Josh Acheampong \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Acheampong defended his penalty box well and did enough to keep a clean sheet.<\/p>\n

CB: Trevoh Chalobah \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He put his foot through the ball when he could and was good on the ball.<\/p>\n

LB: Marc Cucurella \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He came back to defend when needed and was not shy of having a strike at goal.<\/p>\n

CM: Enzo Fernandez \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fernandez worked hard but struggled to influence the game going forward.<\/p>\n

CM: Moises Caicedo \u2013 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He anchored the midfield well and made one decent run with the ball.<\/p>\n

RW: Pedro Neto \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neto managed to shine at times on the right flank, but there was no goal for him.<\/p>\n

CAM: Cole Palmer \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was always willing to have a strike at goal but failed to take his chances.<\/p>\n

LW: Jamie Gittens \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gittens caused some problems for the opposition defenders but failed to register a goal.<\/p>\n

ST: Joao Pedro \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was a quiet presence in the opponent\u2019s half for most of his time on the field.<\/p>\n

Substitutes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

LW: Estevao \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was wasteful in the final third.<\/p>\n

ST: Liam Delap \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

His impact on the game was minimal.<\/p>\n

CB: Malo Gusto \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n
