Chelsea are monitoring Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi as they weigh up a move to bolster their defensive options this month, sources have told ESPN.

Glen: The team have to be more consistent. The first half was far too respectful and we just let Chelsea play. The second half was like watching a different team.
