Venue: Selhurt Park, London.

Kick-off time: 12.30pm Saturday 17rh December 2016.

 

Chelsea are guaranteed to be top of the Premier League tree on Christmas Day. Can they take all three points in this trip to Palace? That would ensure they’re at least six points clear going in to the main part of the festive fixture list.

 

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Predictions

Chelsea made it 10 straight wins when they saw off Sunderland in midweek. They are now guaranteed to be top of the table at Christmas. They now have a six point lead on the chasing pack, and they can extend that with a win at Selhurst Park, with their rivals kicking off later. Palace haven’t been in the best form, and it’s hard to see them resisting the Blues here. Given that Antonio Conte’s men have conceded in just two of their 10 game winning run, we’re backing an away win to nil at 19/10 with Bet Victor for our first Crystal Palace vs Chelsea prediction on Saturday.

 

Anytime Goalscorer Tips

The likes of N’Golo Kante, Diego Costa and Eden Hazard have been getting a lot of praise for their part in this strong run for Chelsea. One unsung hero is Pedro, who has come back from a poor first season to keep the club’s reigning player of the year Willian out of the team. He’s looked brilliant so far, and we’re backing him to pick up a goal here, with Hazard possibly missing. The former Barcelona man is 9/5 with Coral to score anytime and that’s the second Crystal Palace vs Chelsea betting tip.

 

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Team News

With a £60million move to China on the cards, don’t expect Oscar to feature for the Blues here. Kurt Zouma returned to the bench in mid-week, but Eden Hazard missed the trip to Sunderland. He might not be back in time to feature here. Palace have six players out injured, while Loic Remy is ineligible.

 

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Head to Head Stats

Chelsea have won four of their last five trips to Palace, with three of those victories coming to nil. In their two meetings last season, the away side came out on top in each. The Blues’ last three wins against Palace have all been by a single goal.

 

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Betting Odds

The Blues are obviously heavy favourites for this game, they’re priced at 3/5 with Betfred to take the points here. Meanwhile, Palace are 11/2 outsiders with Paddy Power to take a home victory. After the Blues’ narrow mid-week victory, we can see them grinding out a result against Palace. It’s what they’ve tended to do in recent meetings, and they’re likely to do the same without Eden Hazard. That’s why we’re backing a 1-0 away win, at 7/1 with Betfair to complete this weekend’s Crystal Palace vs Chelsea predictions.
