Match Preview:

Crystal Palace followed up their stunning 3-2 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad with a typical Palace performance at home and drew with Cardiff despite dominating play. The result was frustrating and a big come down after the City win.

Still The Eagles are in 14^th place and are 7 points clear of the drop but as this weekend proves the fixtures do not get any easier as they will welcome Chelsea to Selhurst Park.

Roy Hodgson’s team have another chance to play at home where their recent record is good going 3 games unbeaten including winning two of them.

For Chelsea the past month has been a testing time for new coach Maurizio Sarri but The Blues have bounced back winning 3 of their last 4 games. They have won their last two away games but for some punters Chelsea have become a risk to back. Witness their surprise loss at Wolves a few weeks ago and their home defeat against Leicester just before Christmas.
