Gary Cahill could return for Chelsea's crucial Premier League home game against Southampton today after illness kept him out of the weekend's FA Cup semi-final win over title rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham have now lost a record seven consecutive FA Cup semi-finals and their latest disappointment also continued their struggles against elite clubs this season. I was pleased, he played a really good game and he is important for us.
Their task may be made easier as Palace manager Sam Allardyce said he would have to leave out some first choice players to give them a rest after their 2-1 win over Liverpool on Sunday.
"If you asked me last season, after our tenth place, and this season you stay on top, and you reach the FA Cup final, but you didn't change a lot, I think it's great". In England I think the captain has to talk and make people ready for the games.
Cedric Soares could become the first Southampton player since Kevin Davies in 2001 to receive a yellow card in four consecutive Premier League matches.
Ryan Bertrand pulled a goal back for the visitors in second-half injury time, heading home nicely past Thibaut Courtois for Southampton's second on the evening, but the game was in hand for Chelsea by that point.

Landrieu argued that "this is not about politics, blame or retaliation". "The monuments are an aberration", he said. The monument honors the president of the Confederate States of America, who died in New Orleans in 1889.
Conte added that speculation about Diego Costa's future was being caused by troublemakers after the striker, linked with a summer move to China, scored for the first time in five league matches. I don't want my club to buy me a selfish player one day.
But it was the intent of Tottenham's performance which Kane believes will have resonated in the Chelsea camp and heightened concerns over the fragility of their four-point top-flight lead.
"If you compare our team with Tottenham's, (Spurs boss Mauricio) Pochettino has worked for three years".
After setting up Eden Hazard's fifth-minute opener at Stamford Bridge, Costa netted two contrasting goals in the second half.
"I feel we're mentally strong and that we've learnt from a year ago".
"The best team in the Premier League is the one with the most consistency and, for the moment, that is Chelsea", he said.
