Crystal Palace's new-found winning form faces its biggest challenge yet with a visit to Chelsea on Saturday.
They face a Blues side intent on winning the Premier League title, empowered by Antonio Conte's winning mentality and a tactical outlook that has been able to handle whatever thrown his way so far. Eagles boss Sam Allardyce must be diligent and focused if his side are to have any hope this weekend.
This will be the third time in about a month where the team will have headed into a fixture following a two-week break. Whereas spells without matches have previously hurt form, the two recent fortnights without fixtures have allowed Allardyce to work with his squad, drilling the team with his tactics and instructions to the point where it becomes second nature for his players.
