Chelsea vs Crystal Palace prediction

The English Premier League action continues this weekend and the 3rd round will see Chelsea welcome Crystal Palace at the Stamford Bridge. Coming off a dreadful start to the new season, Chelsea sprung back into life at the Molineux Stadium where they annihilated a resurgent Wolverhampton Wanderers in an 8-goal thriller that ended 2-6 in the favour of the Blues before that they were off to a winning start to their UECL campaign following at 2-0 win over Servette. Having established a beaming atmosphere, they can further scale up its trajectory with a victory over the Eagles.

Palace on the other hand have been on the receiving end since the start of the season which might be tied to the big summer transfer reforms which saw one of the Eagles’ best, Micheal Olise leave for Bayern Munich, while this attracted a huge revenue for the London club they seem to be stuck in a rut now. First, it was the opening day loss to Brentford, then the home loss to West Ham last Saturday, but they managed to fashion an emphatic response with their victory over Norwich in the League Cup on Tuesday night.

With Chelsea’s newly found form, they seem pretty unstoppable at the moment and they would surely want to continue that way. Hence, Our Chelsea vs Crystal Palace prediction is for Chelsea to win this match and we recommend the straight-win market for the Blues.

Statistics for Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Prediction

Chelsea’s team news!

• Axel Disasi is in doubt to be in action this Sunday as he’s just recovering from a groin injury. Also, Moises Caicedo is a confirmed Sunday absentee as he’s currently down with a knock he picked up against Wolves and he’s scheduled to make a return in the early weeks of September. Others due for return in September are Romeo Lavia and Reece James (both out with Hamstring injury)
• Despite these injuries, Chelsea seems to be strong with the available players obviously from a really ruthless weekend at Molineux, so sticking to that is their best bet. However, Joao Félix could get his first PL start on his return to the Bridge following his impact over the weekend
• In a quite surprising development in the areas of transfer, Manchester United have opened talks with Chelsea over a deal for Raheem Sterling but the proposed move hinges on a swap for Jadon Sancho on United’s terms
• While Victor Osimhen’s deal seems to be on hold because of the players’ price and wages, Chelsea have turned their attention to Brentford’s Ivan Toney amid Saudi interest. This is coming after offloading Lukaku for €30m to Napoli and the signing of young goalkeeper, Mike Penders from KRC Genk. Indeed it has been a really busy summer for Chelsea and they may not be done just yet

Crystal Palace’s team news!

• Brazilian winger, Matheus Franca is ruled out of action till Mid September courtesy of a broken rib. Center-back, Chadi Riad is in doubt to play this Sunday having picked up a knock just 10 minutes into the game against Norwich should he not feature, Chris Richards could be filling his shoes
• Will Hughes has returned from the illness that saw him sidelined against the Hammers over the weekend, he featured in the thumping of the Canaries and we expect him to be back in the midfield once again this Sunday
• As the search for 3 points continues for the Eagles’, we expect a better setup from Oliver Glasner and that may see Daichi Kamada, Ismaila Sarr, and Jeffrey Schlup in the starting XI
