In their 100th Premier League London derby, a trip to south-west London looms for Crystal Palace this Saturday as Roy Hodgson’s Eagles take on Frank Lampard’s Chelsea in the top-flight’s early kick-off.
The Blues are enjoying a blistering run of form, having won eight of their last 10 matches in all competitions and currently sit fourth in the Premier League table. In the league, Chelsea have won five consecutive matches - making them the most in-form team in the top-flight.
But playing off the back of a 4-4 thriller with Ajax on Tuesday night and with a notably worse record at home than away, Chelsea will be wary of the visiting Palace and their strength on the road.
