Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Key Stats
It’s an all-London affair in the Premier League on Wednesday night, as two out-of-form teams in Chelsea and Crystal Palace face off at 19:30.
The Blues fell to a 2-1 defeat to Wolves on Christmas Eve, making it three defeats in their last four league matches, meanwhile Palace played out a second successive stalemate, extending their winless run to a shocking seven straight matches.
Just four points separate the pair in the English top flight table with Chelsea occupying 11th place, while Palace languish down in 15th, just three points clear of Luton in the relegation zone.
Blues Boast Excellent Record vs Palace
Regardless of both sides’ levels of form over the years, Chelsea have consistently maintained an edge over Palace. The Blues have recorded an incredible 12 straight wins over the South Londoners – a run that spans all the way back to 2017.
Yes, you’d have to trawl back more than six years before finding an Eagles victory over Chelsea in the history books. That one came in the form of a 2-1 triumph at Selhurst Park in October 2017, where Wilfried Zaha netted the winner on the stroke of half time.
The pair have undergone drastic changes to their squads since however, with the Blues boasting an incredible winning run over Palace in the six years that followed. Their meetings last term ended 1-0 and 2-1 in favour of Chelsea, with a 2-0 win in the FA Cup coming prior to that.
Eagles Winless In Seven League Matches
Not only do Palace have a terrible record against Chelsea, but they are in terrible form generally too. As previously mentioned, Roy Hodgson’s side have gone seven straight matches without a win in the league, and boast just four victories this term.
Only Burnley (19th) and Sheffield United (20th) have recorded fewer victories than the Eagles at this stage of the campaign, a worrying statistic as they aim to maintain their Premier League status.
Their record against London-based sides this term has been particularly poor too, with losses coming against Tottenham and Arsenal, as well as draws against Fulham, Brentford and West Ham.
As well, Palace are without their top scorer in the league for the trip to Stamford Bridge, as Odsonne Edouard remains ruled out with a knee injury with no prospective return date set as of yet.
