THE LOWDOWN
CHELSEA
- Chelsea’s campaign got even worse this past Thursday night as they fell to a defeat their fans won’t forget in a hurry, losing 2-1 away to local West London rivals Fulham at Craven Cottage.
- New signing Joao Felix suffered a nightmare first Premier League appearance of his career as he was sent off for a dangerous challenge, meaning he will now miss Chelsea’s next three matches.
CRYSTAL PALACE
- Crystal Palace will be looking to bounce back in the Premier League after being knocked out of the FA Cup last weekend at the hands of Southampton at Selhurst Park.
- Left-back Tyrick Mitchell is suspended for the trip to Stamford Bridge, whilst Nathan Ferguson and James McArthur are both out injured.

THE PREDICTION
It has been nothing but misery for Chelsea so far this season in the Premier League and their awful recent run shows no signs of abating. Their injury list is massive and fans are starting to turn on boss Graham Potter. Stamford Bridge could be an uncomfortable place for the Chelsea players on this occasion and Crystal Palace could take advantage. Their quality on the counter attack will be critical in this one and they certainly contain the players to hurt Chelsea. Consider backing the Eagles to pick up at least a point, if not all three via the double chance market.
TIP: DOUBLE CHANCE - DRAW/CRYSTAL PALACE
