Crystal Palace vs Chelsea prediction: Mason Mount backed to continue goalscoring form

It is all well good us talking about what happened last weekend but after the display midweek in the Champions League, it seems a distant memory that loss to West Brom.

Chelsea now travel to Selhurst Park and are favourites at 8/15 with Betfred while hosts Crystal Palace are a distant 6/1.

The Eagles have lost their last six league matches against Chelsea which is their worst losing run against their London neighbours.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have won eight of their last 10 away Premier League away matches against Crystal Palace and Thomas Tuchel will no doubt want to make that nine from 11.

The German boss has been giving high praise to Mason Mount who continues to silence his critics, prove his believers and frustrate defences.

Tips

  • Mason Mount to score anytime - 23/10
  • Chelsea to keep a clean sheet - 10/11
  • Chelsea to win to nil - 13/10

The England international found the net against West Brom and Porto too in back-to-back matches showing Gareth Southgate he offers a lot more than just midfield support for England too.

Him available to score anytime at 23/10 is both surprising and almost insulting considering his form.

Defensively, Chelsea are sound if we are to believe that West Brom was nothing more than a banana skin and let's be honest, there has been plenty of those this season throughout the league.

Tuchel has been superb guiding his defence to 10 clean sheets from 12 games in all competitions on Wednesday and another one against Palace will be expected, especially with odds at 10/11.
