Chelsea, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Fulham will have left the Chelsea squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 10 of which were on target, in contrast to Fulham, who had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 4, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Crystal Palace, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Crystal Palace supremo Patrick Vieira after sustaining a heavy 4-0 home loss to Tottenham Hotspur. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Tottenham Hotspur who had 14 attempts and 6 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They are proving to be well organised on their travels, having kept 3 clean sheets in their last 6 games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Palace recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
It was one to forget for Crystal Palace last time they met Chelsea in the league, falling to a 1-2 defeat.
Chelsea have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Eagles in each of their previous 3 meetings at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 17 encounters with The Eagles. Palace have struggled to break down The Blues defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. In their last 3 away league games against The Blues, Palace have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
Palace will be desperate to get some points from this game, having lost the last 10 times they've faced Chelsea in the league and not managed a win from any of their last 10 meetings.
Christian Pulisic will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Chelsea against Palace in this one, having netted 4 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
Chelsea manager Graham Potter has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Armando Broja (Knee), Ben Chilwell (Hamstring), Wesley Fofana (Knee), Reece James (Knee), N'Golo Kanté (Hamstring), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Calf), Édouard Mendy (Broken finger), Christian Pulisic (Knee) and Raheem Sterling (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Nathan Ferguson (Muscle) and James McArthur (Hip) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Patrick Vieira will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
