THE PREDICTION

The mood within the camp at Chelsea is anything but healthy, having gone down to another defeat last time out, this time at the hands of Wolves on Christmas Eve. Crystal Palace will know they have a big opportunity here to capitalise on the Blues’ recent struggles, provided they keep things tight at Stamford Bridge and feed their key attacking players such as Eze and Olise. This may well wind up being a turgid encounter as a result with Chelsea struggling to break the Eagles down. Therefore, consider backing under 2.5 goals to be scored.

TIP: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
