Crystal Palace, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 4-1 away defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. In that game they had 31% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Brighton & Hove Albion who had 13 attempts and 6 on target.
Hodgson will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 15 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 9 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
On an individual basis, Michael Olise will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Crystal Palace's last 6 league games.
Chelsea, Recent FormThe 4-2 home defeat to Wolverhampton W. will not have sat easily with the Chelsea squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 64%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Wolverhampton W. had 14 shots on goal with 7 on target.
Their boss Mauricio Pochettino is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 10 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Chelsea, Cole Palmer will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
It was not a positive ending for Crystal Palace last time they met Chelsea in the league, with the game ending in a 2-1 defeat.
The Blues will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Palace, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 19 meetings between the two. In their past 5 meetings, Chelsea's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so The Eagles will have to take their chances when they come. The Eagles have struggled to keep Chelsea at bay when these two teams have met at Selhurst Park, during the last 3 times they have hosted Chelsea in the league, they have conceded a total of 7 goals.
Chelsea have dominated this fixture in the past, winning the last 12 times in a row when they have played Palace in the league.
Palace manager Roy Hodgson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Cheick Doucouré (Achilles tendon), Eberechi Eze (Hamstring), Nathan Ferguson (Hamstring), Rob Holding (Ankle), Jesurun Rak-Sakyi (Hamstring) and Joel Ward (Leg) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Mauricio Pochettino has a number of injury concerns in his Chelsea squad to contend with: Trevoh Chalobah (Thigh), Levi Colwill (Knee), Marc Cucurella (Ankle), Wesley Fofana (Cruciate ligament), Reece James (Hamstring), Roméo Lavia (Unknown), Noni Madueke (Ankle), Robert Sánchez (Knee) and Lesley Ugochukwu (Hamstring)
