Crystal Palace take on the visitors Chelsea in the round 9 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, October 1st at Selhurst Park (London).
Crystal Palace have not played for a long time. The "Glaziers" missed matches of recent 2 rounds, not only with Manchester United, but also with Brighton. And in general, the results frankly cannot please the club's fans. Aside from a 2-0 cup win at Oxford United, the only win we've ever had was a 3-1 win at Aston Villa. On the other hand, it could have been better with Arsenal, and they drew with Liverpool and Newcastle. Yes, and with Manchester City, the middle peasant was leading, but then Erling Haaland showed his brilliance. But, of course, Patrick Vieira, like the board of the club, would like to see more victories.

Chelsea are currently in a "turbulence zone". The Blues are still backtracking change of mentor. Todd Boehly seems to have enough money and the desire to invest in the project. But this American, such an impression, simply does not yet understand the nuances of European, English football - it is enough to get acquainted with his performances and initiatives. It is obvious that he did not work well with Tuchel, and he did not manage to clearly prepare the team for the new season, and even, perhaps, lost control of the dressing room. After a series of misfires in the domestic arena and a failed start in the Champions League, the German was sacked. His successor, Graham Potter, debuted with a slurred game - only 1-1 with Red Bull (Salzburg). But, of course, just this international can do him good. On the other hand, many top players have traveled to the national teams and will only return to London shortly before the match against the Glaziers.
Crystal Palace last won a head-to-head in 2017. After that, for the 10th time in a row, only Chelsea has consistently won. Of course, Chelsea, by virtue of their status, will be the favorite in this pair. But Crystal Palace this season shows that it is ready to fight with top opponents almost on an equal footing. We bet that the wards of Patrick Vieira will be able not to lose on Saturday.
Prediction for the match: Crystal Palace to win with +0.5 handicap (1X).
