Crystal Palace vs Chelsea prediction

Chelsea had a rare goalless game last time against Ipswich, suffering a similarly rare defeat, just their fourth of the season and their second in succession which has seen them quickly plummet to fourth in the table.

They will need a big and quick bounce back to ensure they remain in touch with Liverpool, even though they’re already ten points adrift going into this game week.

Chelsea are now winless in their last three but given their performances prior to this, winning ten and scoring as many as 38, they should be able to win this to kick off the New Year with a win.

Palace have now put five points between themselves and the relegation zone, which would have been more had Ipswich not beaten Chelsea last time out.

Palace have only lost once in their last five, their best run so far in the league and have hit consistent form that’s seen them collect more points than in their first 13 games.

But this is the time when Chelsea return to form and Palace struggle to fend off the constant bombardment that’s likely to incur from the likes of Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea betting tip

Palmer has one goal in his last four but prior to that had four goals in three with emphatic wins against Tottenham, Southampton and Villa.

They’ve been struggling to score recently, with a 0-0 against Everton, 2-1 loss to Fulham followed by a 2-0 loss to Ipswich.

Teams may have found a better way of dealing with Chelsea now, but they can also come up with new ways of creating chances and that often comes down to individual brilliance at the right moments.

Something that Palmer has shown plenty of over the last two seasons, whether it be creating or scoring.

He has 12 goals already this season and seven assists so he’s sure to be involved again.

The same can be said for Jackson who has really settled in as a consistent scorer for Chelsea.

The striker has gone goalless in each of his last three appearances, albeit was only on the pitch for 35 minutes against Ipswich.

They can bounce back and once the floodgates open they score plenty, maybe even just a couple against Palace and more in their next fixtures against Morecambe in the FA Cup, Bournemouth, Wolves and Man City in the Premier League.
