Palace enters the day with two wins and three losses in its last five league clashes, including a loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in late December.

Crystal Palace vs. Chelsea predictions
The Telegraph: Chelsea to win, both teams to score
Jack Ogalbe writes, "Defending has been Chelsea’s main problem this season... The Blues did look more cohesive in the FA Cup win at Aston Villa but still gave up 15 shots. That will encourage Palace, who have scored in four of their previous five at home in all competitions.... While [Chelsea manager] Mauricio Pochettino’s side should have enough to get the points, it is unlikely to be a routine victory."
The Independent: Chelsea to win
Greg Lea writes, "[Crystal Palace] will also be without arguably their four best players in Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, Marc Guehi and Cheick Doucoure. This could be a great opportunity for Chelsea to capitalise."
Action Network: Chelsea to score more than one goal
Anthony Dabbundo writes, "Now that Guehi is out and the Eagles lack an outlet with Eze or Olise to break the pressure, Chelsea will exploit the holes in the defense and score multiple times with their best attacking lineup available."
The Sporting News: Chelsea striker Cole Palmer will record a goal or an assist
Kyle Bonn writes, "At the heart of nearly all [Chelsea's] attacking production this season has been new signing Cole Palmer, flourishing after making the move from Man City. Palmer has notched 10 goals and four assists this season, all since the start of October, after taking a few weeks to get settled at his new club."
