Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Crystal Palace vs Chelsea

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace in the match of the last round of the championship of England played a draw with Brentford, but in general they cannot win in the Premier League for the past five games in a row. The crisis of the Orlovs dragged on, but it will be very difficult for the team to return to the victorious path in a future meeting against a top opponent.

In the new match, on the side of the home team there will be the support of native fans, but still the Crystal Palace players themselves will have to make a lot of efforts for a good result. Patrick Vieira must come up with a special plan for such a meeting in order to stop the attacking line of the guests.

Chelsea

The Blues missed the last round of the English Championship, because they played at the Club World Cup, the winner of which was just the London team. Chelsea won their next trophy and the players of Thomas Tuchel's team will definitely be in good spirits before the new Premier League match.

The Blues have a challenging and eventful calendar of matches ahead, as the team will play in the Champions League playoffs. The Chelsea coaching staff will have to properly allocate playing time between the players, but the Premier League is still a priority tournament for the Londoners at this stage of the season.
