The Blues dropped points for the fourth straight game after a poor showing in another derby. Cole Palmer scored an early goal, but Palace were unable to equalise towards the end.

Nicolas Jackson had two or three big chances to put the Blues beyond sight and when asked about the same, Maresca took out the positives from the situation.

He said: "For a striker, sometimes they score all their chances, sometimes they don't score. He had two or three clear chances today so that means he is there and ready."

The Blues were considered as potential challengers to Liverpool for the Premier League title, but they have dropped off in recent weeks.

The club are now nine points behind the Reds for the top spot. The latter have two games in hand and could extend their advantage further.
