Crystal Palace come into the game on the back of a 0-0 draw away to Newcastle United at the beginning of September. Newcastle United had the better of the match but Crystal Palace were happy to come away with a point and clean sheet.
That result means Crystal Palace have failed to win any of their 3 most recent fixtures in the Premier League.
There have been two successive draws, the one at Newcastle United and one at home thanks to a 1-1 draw with Brentford. Crystal Palace also lost 4-2 at Manchester City having been 2-0 up at half time.
The Eagles have recorded only 1 win in the Premier League this season and that came at home against Aston Villa. Trends show Crystal Palace are undefeated in 10 of their last 11 home games in all competitions.
They are undefeated in 8 of their last 9 home Premier League matches and there has been under 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Crystal Palace’s last 6 home Premier League games.
Chelsea make the short trip to Selhurst Park having last played at home against Salzburg in the Champions League. It was the first match for new manager Graham Potter and he would have been hoping to defeat the Austrian team, especially having taken the lead shortly after half time.
That result means Chelsea have recorded only 1 win from their 4 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
The win came over West Ham United at home in the Premier League but there have been defeats away to Southampton in the Premier League and away to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.
Away form in the Premier League shows Chelsea have won 2 of their last 6 games. The wins have come at Leeds United and Everton but there have been defeats this season at Leeds United and Southampton.
Trends show Chelsea have the upper hand over Crystal Palace and are on a successful run which consists of 10 wins in all competitions.
Team news and Crystal Palace are expected to be without injured midfielder James McArthur. There are also doubts over the fitness of Nathan Ferguson, James Tomkins, and Jack Butland.
Chelsea could be without the injured trio of Christian Pulisic, Edouard Mendy, and N’Golo Kante but all three are close to a return.
This is going to be another tough away assignment for Chelsea. However, they know how to beat Crystal Palace and one goal could be enough to make the difference in this game, with Chelsea claiming a 1-0 victory.
