A London derby rounds off the action in the Premier League this weekend, as Chelsea look to turn their league form around when they travel to Selhurst Park. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace will also be chasing a vital victory in their bid to move clear of the relegation places.
Before Betting On Crystal Palace vs Chelsea
It has been an underwhelming season in the Premier League for both Chelsea and Crystal Palace coming into this round of matches. Chelsea will have the most questions to answer based on their recent league stutters, as they have suffered defeats in each of their last two in the Premier League. However, the Blues do come into this round after producing their best display of the season in the FA Cup against Aston Villa in midweek.
Crystal Palace will also have questions to answer this weekend, as the pressure is mounting on Roy Hodgson. The Eagles have been unable to drag themselves clear of the relegation places after suffering three defeats in their last five, while they have netted just 26 goals in the competition this term. That form leaves them just five clear of the bottom three.
Chelsea boasts a dominant record against the Eagles in the Premier League after winning each of their last 12. However, the Blues have never recorded 13 straight victories against a single opponent in their top-flight history. Palace have impressed recently at home, winning each of their last two at Selhurst Park.
However, no side is on a longer run without keeping a clean sheet in the Premier League than the Eagles. They have failed to shut out their rivals in 12 matches, conceding 27 goals in total across that period. Meanwhile, Chelsea have suffered defeats in their last two, conceding at least four goals in both losses that they have suffered.
Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Offshore Odds & Pick
Chelsea would have taken massive confidence from their recent win against Aston Villa in the FA Cup, and that success could spur them on this week against Palace.
