The Chelsea players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Wolverhampton W. recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat.  They achieved 69% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Wolverhampton W.'s tally of 14 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.  

Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Mauricio Pochettino will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 8 goals they scored.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Stamford Bridge.  

They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless.

It's fair to say Crystal Palace will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Brighton & Hove Albion, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 35%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Brighton & Hove Albion had 18 shots on goal with 6 on target.  

Having scored 6 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.  

They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.  

Odsonne Édouard has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Chelsea.
