Chelsea vs Crystal Palace live stream kicks off a new Premier League campaign for the two London teams.

It's hard to see Chelsea as anything but favourites, but can Palace start the season with an upset? But can Palace start the season with an upset?

Despite the recent trophy-winning momentum and the club's considerable financial resources, Chelsea will not be bringing in their new $9.75million player, Romelu Lukaku, for this game. Hakim Ziyech, who scored the first goal in Wednesday's Super Cup, is also sidelined with a "serious injury."

Crystal Palace will also be hoping their opponents are still tired from the Super Cup marathon against Villarreal, which Chelsea won after a sudden-death penalty shootout, but in any case, the club, which appointed Patrick Viera as manager, seems optimistic.

The new boss has been given no less than three first-team signings, with former Chelsea prospect Marc Gehi starting here and Joachim Andersen all starting on the bench.

Here is the lineup:

Chelsea Mendy; Christensen, Rüdiger, Chalobah; Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso; Pulisic, Mount; Werner

Crystal Palace Guaita; Ward, Gehi, Kuyate, Mitchell; McArthur, Riedewald, Schlupp; Ayew, Mateta, Zaha
