Crystal Palace vs Chelsea head to head
Selhurst Park has been a happy hunting ground for the Blues over the years with seven wins in 10 visits in the Premier League era. On our most recent visit in December 2018, a strike from N’Golo Kante settled the contest.
When the two sides met at Stamford Bridge back in November, it was goals from Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic that handed Frank Lampard’s side a 2-0 win.
Injury news for Crystal Palace vs Chelsea
N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Fikayo Tomori are all out of the trip to Selhurst Park, Lampard reported on Monday. Kante is likely to miss the weekend game at Sheffield United, too, although Kovacic might be fit again having trained on Monday. Tomori suffered a setback in training and Lampard hopes to have him available next week.
Palace are expected to be without defender James Tomkins and midfield man Jeffrey Schlupp, though Martin Kelly could return for Roy Hodgson’s side. Former Blues Gary Cahill and Patrick Van Aanholt are likely to line up at the back.
