Chelsea vs Crystal Palace: Latest team news, predicted lineups and injuries
Chelsea kick off their new Premier League season against London rivals Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge this weekend. Just 35 days after lifting the Club World Cup in New Jersey, the Blues go again with a host of new faces eager to make an impact. Joao Pedro and Liam Delap did just that in the US, with both strikers now ahead of Nicolas Jackson in the pecking order in west London with the Senegal international suspended for Sunday's game regardless. Three goals in two Club World Cup appearances, plus another three in quick-fire pre-season games against Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan, could see Pedro start the new campaign as Enzo Maresca's first-choice no9. Jamie Gittens will also be hopeful of getting the nod alongside Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto in that attacking three behind the striker.

Melania Trump threatens to sue Hunter Biden over ‘salacious' Epstein comments
Ms Trump takes issue with two comments Mr Biden, son of former president Joe Biden, made in an interview this month with American journalist Andrew Callaghan. He alleged that Epstein introduced the first lady to now-President Donald Trump. Hunter Biden listens while his father, then-president Joe Biden, speaks at the White House (Rod Lamkey/AP) The statements are false, defamatory and 'extremely salacious' Melania Trump's lawyer, Alejandro Brito, wrote in a letter to Mr Biden. Mr Biden's remarks were widely disseminated on social media and reported by media outlets around the world, causing the first lady 'to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm', he wrote. Mr Biden made the Epstein comments during a sprawling interview in which he lashed out at 'elites' and others in the Democratic Party he says undermined his father before he dropped out of last year's presidential campaign. 'Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep,' Mr Biden said in one of the comments Ms Trump disputes. Mr Biden attributed the claim to author Michael Wolff, whom Mr Trump disparaged in June as a 'Third Rate Reporter'. He has accused Mr Wolff of making up stories to sell books. The first lady's threats echo a favoured strategy of her husband, who has aggressively used litigation to go after critics. Public figures like the Trumps face a high bar to succeed in a defamation case. The president and first lady have long said they were introduced by Paolo Zampolli, a modelling agent, at a New York Fashion Week party in 1998. The letter is dated August 6 and was first reported on Wednesday by Fox News Digital. Abbe Lowell, a lawyer who has represented Mr Biden in his criminal cases and to whom Brito's letter is addressed, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
