Chelsea look for three points away against Crystal Palace
Kick-off : 2:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace is struggling at the moment in the league as they are without a single point or a single goal so far from their seven games.
While Chelsea also come into this game on the back of a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Manchester City.
So both managers know that they can ill-afford any further slip-ups. One will be vying to keep their team in the top flight while the other will be vying for the title.
The Blues have the upper hand in the encounter between the two sides so far. They will be very confident going into this game.
Team news and possible line-ups
Wilfred Zaha is available for Crystal Palace and might be given a start against Chelsea. While Christian Benteke and Connor Wickham will not be available on Saturday.
Bakary Sako and Freddie Ladapo are available and will likely lead the attack for Palace. Whereas Ruben Loftus-Cheek is yet not fully fit and will miss the Chelsea game.
As for Chelsea, Alavaro Morata is available and might play on Saturday. While Davide Zappacosta is also available and might be given a start against Palace.

Prediction
On the current form of Crystal Palace it is not hard to predict a Chelsea win. The scoreline I expect though is 2-0 with Hazard and Alvaro Morata scoring.
