Team News

Chelsea
Crystal Palace
  • Joao Felix endured a debut to forget as he received his marching orders in the second half of Chelsea's 2-1 loss at Fulham, and serves the first of a three-man ban.
  • Denis Zakaria sustained a thigh injury in the West London Derby defeat and joins a lengthy injury list at Stamford Bridge.
  • Hakim Ziyech may come into the XI in one of two places behind striker Kai Havertz should Graham Potter continue with a three-man backline.
  • Tyrick Mitchell returns from a ban and is set to feature at left-back at Chelsea.
  • That leaves just James McArthur and Nathan Ferguson as Crystal Palace's only confirmed absentees.

Prediction

  • Chelsea have made a dire start to 2023 and have failed to win all four matches this year, losing their last three. They have won only one of their last four in the league at Stamford Bridge, that a 2-0 win over lowly Bournemouth.
  • Crystal Palace haven't fared much better, winning only one of their last six, losing five, with their sole victory in that time also coming against Bournemouth. The Eagles have lost their last 11 visits to Chelsea.
  • Chelsea edged out Palace in the reverse fixture, but needed a late Conor Gallagher strike to secure all three points. As such, the spoils may be shared on Sunday afternoon.
