Chelsea Team News, Betting Odds & Where To Watch Vs Crystal Palace

Chelsea look to make it two wins from two as they host London rivals Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge this afternoon. 

The Blues come off the back of a 6-2 win over Wolves at Molineux last week where winger Noni Madueke scored a hat trick with three goals that were all assisted by Cole Palmer.

It seemed to be a turning point for Enzo Maresca’s side who have faced much criticism this summer due to the sheer number of players that have signed and now have in their squad.

Despite that, they look to be strong with plenty of attacking prowess and ability which will give Chelsea fans the confidence that they can get back into the top four this season.

Furthermore, they completed the signing of Jadon Sancho on transfer deadline day after Raheem Sterling left on loan to Arsenal.

The Blues have however lost Romeo Lavia, Reece James and more to injury which could prove to be an obstacle as they aim to overcome a Crystal Palace side who come off two consecutive losses.

Chelsea backed for second win in a row

Chelsea look to be hot following their exceptional win over Wolves and facing a team that is yet to record a point, they are backed by the bookies to win.

Oddchecker has Chelsea as 7/10 favourites, whilst they back Palace at 4/1 and a draw at 17/5.

We have the Blues to win 2-1 in what could be a close game as Palace has a lot of attacking quality with the likes of Eberechi Eze, Jean-Phillipe Mateta and new signing Eddie Nketiah.
