Prediction
- Crystal Palace missed the chance to keep up the pressure on 4th-placed Tottenham on Monday after being held to a 0-0 draw with Swansea. The Eagles are unbeaten in their last six league games and will be hoping to heap further misery upon a disappointing Chelsea side.
- The Blues have struggled this season, though a 0-0 draw with Manchester United can be considered a foundation with which to build on. However, their form on the road leaves a lot to be desired, with Chelsea winning just one of their nine away games this season.
- Palace struggle against teams that sit deep and look to defend and could be held to a second successive 0-0 draw on home turf.
