15th January 2023 – 15:00, Stamford Bridge, London
Chelsea will host Crystal Palace in the Premier League 20th round on Sunday afternoon. The home side searches for a way to start winning, while the visitors hope to remain in a safe mid-table position.
Chelsea Preview & Team News
Chelsea will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 2-1 Premier League losing effort in their game against Fulham. That was the Blues’ third straight defeat in all competitions after two losses against Manchester City. It has been rare in recent games where Chelsea has shown defensive steel. The facts show that Chelsea has seen their defense breached in 5 of their previous six clashes, shipping nine goals in the process. Ahead of this meeting, Chelsea is unbeaten in the league by Crystal Palace in their last ten matches. Quite a long unbeaten run against them. However, the Blues need all three points from this match if they want to stay competitive for continental spots.
Crystal Palace Preview & Team News
Since being beaten in their last game against Southampton in FA Cup action, Crystal Palace will be aiming to make amends here. The Eagles lost three times on the previous four occasions in the Premier League, but they are only three points behind their upcoming rival. It is worth noting that Crystal Palace has suffered from a shortage of goals over their last six clashes, recording a disappointing return of just 3. In those matches, The Eagles have also seen the overall goal aggregate of their opponents equal to 10. Coming into this clash, Crystal Palace is winless against Chelsea when they have played them away from home in the previous five league games. Not good. From a largely available group of players, there is only one fitness issue for the Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira to contend with. Nathan Ferguson (Achilles tendon problems) misses out for this game.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Neither team has been confident recently, and we anticipate a hard-fought battle. However, Chelsea should be closer to victory, and we expect them to pick up all three points.
Goals Market Prediction
Both teams have had trouble with finishing lately, and we don’t expect an efficient match. That’s why we think the crowd will see two goals in total at most.
