    There hasn't been a draw between these two since 1995.

    Kep plays a bad pass, it comes to McArthur and he tries to lob Kepa but it goes well wide. Thought we would get a repeat of Che Adams against Man City there.

    Players take the knee and we're off.
Start of match

Start of match

  • PRVW
    Willian is two goals from his best-ever total of 13 goals in a season. What a big miss he will be if the Blues can't keep him.
  • PRVW
    And Chelsea are out with their new away kit. It looks very nice.
  • PRVW
    Palace out to 'Glad all over'.
  • PRVW
    Gilmour is looking for his first-ever Chelsea goal. Will he get it today?
  • PRVW
    Palace have some tricky matches coming up: Chelsea, Villa, United, Wolves, and Tottenham.
  • PRVW
    Palace are currently seven points off of seventh place so I think that a defeat today would almost certainly end their European hopees.
  • PRVW
    Some big games for Chelsea coming up in the next month: they have Sheffield United, Norwich, United, Liverpool, Wolves, and Bayern.
  • PRVW
    Chelsea haven't lost to Palace since 2017. They last failed to score there in 2014.
  • PRVW
    This is actually the third London derby in a row for Chelsea.
  • PRVW
    Assuming that City are allowed entry into the Champions League, Chelsea are only two places above United and would move above Leicester with a win. Looks like United, Chelsea, and Leicester will be fighting for just two places. A Palace draw means they secure their Premier League status.
  • PRVW
    Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga, James, Zouma, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Gilmour, Barkley, Mount, Willian, Giroud, Pulisic.
  • PRVW
    Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Dann, Cahill, van Aanholt, McArthur, Milivojevic, Kouyate, Ayew, Benteke, Zaha.
