After the current international break concludes, Chelsea will play Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on October 1. The Blues have been on an incredible run to start the season and would love to keep it going with a victory to increase their chances of winning the championship.
Ngolo Kante, who was injured in a match against Tottenham, has returned, which is a huge boost for Graham Potter and the rest of the team. Furthermore, Carney Chukwuemeka and Broja have excelled in practice, giving the Blues an additional edge.
Let the Games Begin!
At precisely 5:00 pm EDT, the Chelsea vs. Palace match will get underway (East African standard time).
Head-to-Head
On 26 occasions, Chelsea and Crystal Palace have squared off against one another, with the Blues holding a narrow win-loss advantage. Only four wins for Palace so far, with the other two games ending in a tie.
There have been a total of 20 victories for the blues over Viera’s squad, 10 at home and 10 on the road.
When these two teams meet in October, Chelsea will be seeking to continue its recent streak of victories.
Patrick Viera’s squad, on the other hand, will be hoping to snap a three-game losing streak. What Graham Potter has in store for Chelsea should prove to be an intriguing spectacle. Will he make a splash in his first league game for West London?
