Belgian international attacker Batshuayi has joined Crystal Palace on a six-month loan until the summer.

Chelsea are in a keenly contested top-four battle with London rivals Arsenal and Manchester United.

Michy Batshuayi is expected to feature for Crystal Palace against both Arsenal and Manchester United in the Premier League before the end of the season.

In addition, Crystal Palace will also face other top-six clubs like Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

Batshuayi, 25, has struggled to make an impact at Chelsea since he joined the West Londoners from French Ligue 1 club Marseille in the summer of 2016 in a £35m deal.
