Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink will welcome back Diego Costa after the striker served his one-match ban against Manchester United.
Costa scored twice against Watford on Boxing Day but missed the 0-0 draw at Old Trafford after picking up his fifth booking of the season.
Hiddink employed a very defensive team without the Spanish striker, playing Eden Hazard as a striker and Pedro and Willian in deep roles on the wing.
Gary Cahill missed the game because of a minor ankle injury, but he too is expected to be available for the trip to Selhurst Park, as is Cesc Fabregas, who had a fever.
However, Radamel Falcao is definitely out after suffering a setback to his recurring thigh problem and fellow striker Loic Remy is also a doubt.
The rest of the squad is in good health.
Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace will be three key players in Yohan Cabaye, Connor Wickham and Yannick Bolasie.
