Chelsea will not envision any pleasantries from hosting team Crystal Palace in this Premier League match. Here's your comprehensive match preview!

Insights:
  • Crystal Palace have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Chelsea have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
