Handicap Crystal Palace (0) • 4.15

Crystal Palace beating City in City which no body would have thought of then they drew at home against Cardiff. I think they can beat Chelsea also as they have beaten them twice in last 4 meetings and confidence will be there in team.
I'll try to take a handicap of 0 to have a safety margin. Chelsea is not playing as stable as at the beginning of the season. Therefore, I think the Eagles will have the opportunity to get 3 points

Over 2.5 Goals • 1.909

Crystal Palace’s barren draw with Cardiff City brought to an end a two game winning run for the London side but presented the second game in three that they have kept a clean sheet, and playing at home against Chelsea in a London Derby, Palace will fancy their chances against a side that has not been as ruthless as it was in the initial stages of the season. Chelsea have been winning by close margins in their recent outings, a suggestion of diminishing confidence in the side, and they have kept just one clean sheet in the last five matches. Chelsea beat Palace 3 – 1 in the first leg meeting and having dropped to 11 points behind league leaders Liverpool, they will be keen on winning this game to keep up the pace as well as holding on their top four place. Palace have pocked eight points in their last five home matches, just one short of Chelsea, who have managed nine points in their last five away matches but while Palace have kept three straight clean sheets at home in the Premier League, Chelsea have not managed an away clean sheet in the last four league matches, scoring six and conceding seven. None of the last seven matches between the two sides has ended in a draw with Chelsea picking four wins and Palace three. Of the seven, six have ended in over 2.5 goals with both sides scoring in five. The two sides have met 34 times in history and Palace have managed just six wins while Chelsea have 19 wins.

Chelsea Win • 1.68

Pour espérer tirer profit de la rencontre entre Arsenal et Liverpool, Chelsea doit l’emporter ! Les hommes de Sarri ? qui alternent le bon et le moins bon ces dernières semaines, ont l’occasion de maintenir à bonne distance Arsenal et également Manchester United qui semble avoir repris du poil de la bête. Pour ce faire, une victoire contre leur voisin, Crystal Palace, est loin d’être hors de portée de la bande d’Eden Hazard. Évoluant dans une autre cour, les Blues doivent et peuvent forcer la décision et finir l’année sur une note positive.

Chelsea Win • 1.68

Palace had over 30 attempts on goal without scoring against Cardiff earlier in the week and they cannot afford such profligacy against Chelsea who had talisman Eden Hazard to thank for their win at Watford last time.
This promises to be a full-blooded London derby with the visitors keeping the points.

Handicap Chelsea (-1) • 2.31

Crystal Palace's problem is scoring goals at home, even when they make loads of chances.
I don't see them making loads of chances against Chelsea, so I kind of look at this game and think 'Can I really tip Palace to get a draw, or better?'
No. I don't see it. Chelsea had an off-day against Leicester last weekend, but that does not happen very often under Maurizio Sarri.
