Chelsea are keen to get back to winning ways this weekend as they face a trip to Selhurst Park to play against Crystal Palace. 

The Blues have lost their last two league games, but are winless in three. They were beaten 2-0 by Ipswich Town last time out, in a game which left Enzo Maresca‘s side fourth in the Premier League table.

They are 10 points away from league leaders Liverpool, and four behind rivals Arsenal, who play against Brighton on Saturday.

Chelsea could have up to six players missing for the game on Saturday due to injury, however midfielder Romeo Lavia is set to return after spending time on the side-lines with a hamstring injury.

Benoit Badiashile, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Wesley Fofana are all expected to miss the game, but are all close to returning back to action. Click here to see our predicted XI for Chelsea for Saturday’s game at Selhurst Park.

They make the trip to play a Palace side who are in good form. They have lost just one in their last eight Premier League matches, and are now 15th in the league, five points above the relegation zone.

Chelsea cautiously made favourites against Palace

Maresca’s side on paper, have a much stronger team. However, on form, Palace have been much better in the last few games. The bookmakers have backed Chelsea as favourites, but not strong favourites.

According to Oddschecker, Chelsea are backed to win at odds of 97/100, which gives them a 50.8% chance of three points.

Crystal Palace are backed to win at odds of 14/5 (26.3%), and a draw is backed at odds of 3/1 (25%). We predict a 2-1 win for the Blues, who get back to winning ways.
