Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Preview & Prediction
Two out-of-form sides meet in an all-London Premier League affair on Wednesday evening, as Chelsea welcome Crystal Palace to Stamford Bridge at 19:30.
The Blues head into the clash off the back of a convincing 2-1 defeat to Wolves, their third defeat in their last four league matches, meanwhile the Eagles drew 1-1 against Brighton last time out, extending their winless run to seven straight matches.
Just four points separate the pair in the table, with Mauricio Pochettino’s side occupying 11th place while Roy Hodgson’s men sit in a lowly-15th, just three points above the drop zone.
Despite their poor form as of late, we expect Chelsea to triumph in this one and to do so fairly comfortably. The West Londoners have an excellent record against Wednesday night’s counterparts with 12 straight wins in the fixture, and we at SportsLens anticipate that this run will be extended in Gameweek 19.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Crystal Palace

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Betting Tip 1: Chelsea To Win To Nil @ 19/20
Our first tip for your Wednesday night Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Premier League bet builder is to back the hosts to win without conceding a goal, priced by leading UK betting sites at 19/20.
This exact feat has been achieved in four of the pair’s last five meetings across all competitions, most recently in the form of a 1-0 league win for the Blues back in January of last season.
Chelsea also managed to keep a clean sheet in their last league win, against Sheffield United less than two weeks ago, while Palace have failed to score in six matches this season.
Chelsea vs Crystal Palace Betting Tip 2: Nicolas Jackson To Score Anytime @ 13/8
The Blues’ goalscoring threat will be weakened against Palace on Wednesday without suspended duo Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer, placing the onus on top scorer Nicolas Jackson to deliver in their absence.
Jackson leads the way for Chelsea in terms of goals scored in the Premier League this term with seven to his name, memorably bagging a hat-trick against Tottenham in early November, and most recently scored in the 2-0 win over Sheffield United earlier in the month.
Without a goal in his previous two matches, we at SportsLens are backing the Senegal international to bounce back in Gameweek 19 by scoring at anytime against the Eagles, priced at 13/8.
