Kai Havertz scored the only goal at Stamford Bridge with a towering second-half header on the day Chelsea paid tribute to former player and manager Gianluca Vialli.
Palace had the first real chance of the game after 20 minutes, when Michael Olise allowed the ball to drop over his shoulder and drilled an effort toward Kepa Arrizabalaga’s top corner from 25 yards (meters). The Chelsea goalkeeper did brilliantly to finger-tip behind at full stretch.
It was only a second win in the last 10 games in the league to take some of the heat off Potter, with 10th-place Chelsea moving level on points with Liverpool in ninth.
