Prediction

  • This match sees reigning champions Chelsea take on newly promoted Crystal Palace for the first time in the league. There has only been one win for the newly promoted team, out of 23 matches, when taking on the reigning champions.
  • Crystal Palace had a reality check in their first match in the league as they lost 4-0 against Tottenham.
  • Chelsea got off to a decent start, narrowly winning 1-0 against Aston Villa. Chelsea have won each of their last eight games without conceding when facing an opponent for the first time. The last time they lost to a newly promoted side was back in July 2015 when they lost 4-0 against Sunderland.
  • Crystal Palace will be creating a small part of history, becoming the first team to have their first two games in the league be London derbies. Sadly for them, it'll be a repeat of the last match with Chelsea being a whole different level.
