The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Crystal Palace lock horns with Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea side in an important clash at Selhurst Park on Monday.
Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Preview
Crystal Palace are currently in 15th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side slumped to a disappointing 4-1 defeat at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are in 11th place in the league table at the moment and have failed to meet expectations over the past year. The Blues eased past Aston Villa by a 3-1 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
