The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Crystal Palace lock horns with Graham Potter’s Chelsea side in an important clash at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Crystal Palace are currently in 12th place in the Premier League standings and have been inconsistent this season. The away side suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Southampton this week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are in 10th place in the league table at the moment and have struggled so far this season. The Blues slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Fulham in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Chelsea have struggled under Graham Potter so far and will need to work hard to turn their campaign around. The Blues were poor against Fulham and cannot afford another debacle in this fixture.
Crystal Palace have a good squad and can pack a punch on their day but have issues to address ahead of this match. Chelsea are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Team News
Chelsea’s issues have not been helped by a lengthy injury list, with Reece James, Wesley Fofana, N’Golo Kante, Armando Broja, Ben Chilwell, Raheem Sterling, Edouard Mendy and Christian Pulisic all out.
Denis Zakaria is also a major doubt with the issue that he suffered against Fulham, while the match could also come too soon for Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Joao Felix was sent off on his debut against Fulham, meanwhile, so the on-loan Atletico Madrid forward will miss the team’s next three matches due to a suspension.
There could be three changes from the side that took to the field for the first whistle against Fulham, with Marc Cucurella, Jorginho and Hakim Ziyech potentially coming in for starts.
