Combined: The best XI of Palace and Chelsea's shared players

By signing the unattached Gary Cahill in the summer, Crystal Palace secured a player who had most recently played for Chelsea for the fifth season running.

Joining Patrick Bamford, Loïc Rémy, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Michy Batshuayi - who all signed for Palace on loan from 2015/16-2018/19 respectively - as players to have donned the two-tone of Palace immediately after the blue of Chelsea, Cahill has become the latest name on an illustrious list of players to have represented both clubs.

Below, we pick out the best starting XI from the official Palace programme's feature 'A Foot in Both Camps' with, of course, a little edit for the sake of staying current.
