Chelsea comes into this one on the heels of a remarkable Champions League game at Stamford Bridge where it trailed Ajax 4-1 and somehow came back to make it an incredible eight-goal draw. It was without a doubt the best match of the season so far in any competition. Frank Lampard’s young team continues to impress and entertain, and it might just be the most watchable team in the sport right now. With 23 points from its first 11 games in the Premier League, the team is also proving it can be competitive and fun to watch. The Blues might finish the weekend in second place with a sixth straight win in the league.
Trying to spoil that Chelsea party is Crystal Palace, who has had a solid start to the season and will look to rebound from a tough loss at home to Leicester last week. It was painful but isn’t a reason to stop the optimism. Roy Hodgson’s team has been competitive against every team it’s faced this season and believes it has enough firepower to pull off the upset against a vulnerable Chelsea defense that just conceded four goals to Ajax.
