Chelsea v Crystal Palace Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Sunday 04^th November 2018 (Kick-off 4 PM)

On Sunday afternoon, London rivals Chelsea and Crystal Palace clash at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

Chelsea have made a promising start to their campaign under highly-rated boss Maurizio Sarri and currently sit third in the Premier League table. Crystal Palace have struggled for results of late and are now just three points clear of the relegation zone.

Chelsea will be looking to keep pace with Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the table, with the north west pair currently leading the Blues by two points. Despite a good start to life in south west London, Chelsea have drawn three of their last five league games.

The Blues have been fairly strong on home soil in the Premier League of late, as they are unbeaten in eight outings at Stamford Bridge.

Top Football Bookmakers

Palace have now failed to win in five Premier League games, having suffered three defeats and picking up two draws. However, last time out the Eagles picked up a respectable 2-2 draw against Arsenal.

The Eagles have a poor recent away record in the Premier League, suffering three defeats in their last four league games on their travels. The away side have also conceded at least two goals in three of their last four away matches.

Prediction

Home win and/or over 2.5 goals scored
