Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Premier League 2024-25

The Eagles have zero points on the league table.

The third round of Premier League fixtures are set to unfold this weekend, a crucial juncture where the early season will start to separate the best from the rest. The spotlight is on Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea will lock horns with Crystal Palace in a high-stakes London Derby with both sides vying for ultimate bragging rights.

Under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s performance on the opening day against defending champions Manchester City raised questions. However, after their brilliant performance against Wolves, the Blues are expected to perform similarly against Palace as well.

The appointment of Oliver Glasner revitalised the culture and settings around Selhurst Park, leaving the Eagles soaring after a turbulent season. But unfortunately, they lost their opening match against Brentford and second match against West Ham. In their last match, EFL Cup second round, the Eagles trashed Norwich by 4-0 and will be confident going to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.

Players to Watch

Noni Madueke (Chelsea)

Noni Madueke is an elite winger. He combines flair and trickery with directness, showing eagerness to drive the ball forward and taking on defenders to create imbalances. He is a technically refined footballer with excellent shooting technique and close control.

He doesn’t require an extra touch to set himself up to score goals. He can control the ball with both the outside and inside of the foot.

Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace)

Eberechi Eze shows good strength and awareness in difficult situations and can hold off defenders while looking for a pass. He has brilliant vision and most of the time can find his teammates in good space. He is a technical player who with his flicks and trickery can beat opposition defenders with ease.

He is good at shooting the ball outside the box and is capable of using his weaker left foot to score goals as well. He will be a threat for the Blues in counterattacks.
