London: Chelsea is looking to turn things around as they head to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace. They’ve had a rough patch lately, only managing to snag one point from their last three games. Ouch! After losing to Fulham and Ipswich, they’re now ten points behind Liverpool.
Defensively, they’re still struggling. Benoit Badiashile is out for a while, and Wesley Fofana might be done for the season. On the bright side, Reece James could be back, and Romeo Lavia is eager to play. Cole Palmer hasn’t been in the best form either, with just one goal in five matches.
As for Palace, they’ve picked up some momentum but are still only five points above the relegation zone. They did manage to come from behind to beat Southampton last week, which was a nice boost. That win was just their second at home in the league this season. You can follow all the action with Standard Sport’s live blog, featuring insights from Malik Ouzia right from the ground!
