THE PREDICTION
The apparently new-look Crystal Palace side that is meant to be revolutionised by Vieira is set to feature nine of the starting 11 that played last season with just the centre-back partnership being new and fresh. The staleness of Palace was a concern and criticism and that does not yet look to have been addressed; circumstances involving injury, ineligibility and the transfer window still being open have contributed to that. Chelsea should win this game relatively comfortably but given that Romelu Lukaku is unlikely to feature in this game, at least from the start, a 1-0 or 2-0 home victory seems a very likely outcome.
