Chelsea are monitoring Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi as they weigh up a move to bolster their defensive options this month, sources have told ESPN.

Glen: The team have to be more consistent. The first half was far too respectful and we just let Chelsea play. The second half was like watching a different team. The energy and pace of the play was excellent and what is needed. Overall, it was a decent match. My only worry is the lack of depth in the squad at the moment.

Crystal Palace are ‘not expected’ to sign a Championship star they are admirers of during this month’s transfer window. Palace want to make additions in the transfer window this month as they look to support Oliver Glasner and move away from the drop zone.
