Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
--------------------------------------
Crystal Palace, winless in 17 matches against Chelsea, host their London rivals at Selhurst Park in Sunday’s Gameweek 23 fixture. The Eagles have struggled under Oliver Glasner, who remains in charge despite extending their winless run to 10 games after a defeat to Sunderland. Chelsea aim to secure back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since November, setting up a challenging clash for Palace.
Team Analysis:
Crystal Palace continue to struggle under Oliver Glasner, winless at Selhurst Park since early November and facing the departures of key players like Marc Guehi and potentially Jean-Philippe Mateta. Despite their poor home form and a long winless streak against Chelsea, the Eagles have drawn all three meetings with the Blues since Glasner replaced Hodgson. Chelsea, meanwhile, look to build momentum after recent victories and aim to secure consecutive wins to boost their top-four ambitions in the Premier League.
Player Situation:
Crystal Palace receive a boost as Daniel Munoz and Nathaniel Clyne return to the squad, while Ismaila Sarr joins fresh from his Africa Cup of Nations triumph. Key absentees remain, including Cheick Doucoure, Eddie Nketiah, Daichi Kamada, and Rio Cardines, though top scorer Jean-Philippe Mateta is available despite transfer speculation. Chelsea also see players returning, with Cole Palmer and Reece James fit for selection, while Romeo Lavia, Dario Essugo, Levi Colwill, and Tosin Adarabioyo remain sidelined.
Result Prediction:
Glasner has shown he can be a tough opponent for Chelsea, with his tactics likely to earn Palace another hard-fought point. Despite Chelsea’s superior individual talent, Palace’s setup makes them difficult to break down. A fourth consecutive draw between the two sides appears the most likely outcome.
Predicted Result: Crystal Palace 1-1 Chelsea.
