One of four EPL games to take place on Sunday sees Crystal Palace and Chelsea clash in an all London affair. Having confirmed that he will be leaving at the end of the season, citing a lack of support from those above at the club as a key reason, Oliver Glasner remains in charge of the Eagles, who recently lost a key player in Marc Guehi. Thankfully for the hosts, Ismaila Sarr is back from AFCON, but coping with the loss of their defensive leader will not be easy, especially given a lack of confidence following a ten-game winless run.
The visitors got their first win under Liam Rosenior last weekend, beating Brentford by two goals to zero. The performance wasn't perfect, but we got to see how free-flowing the Blues are likely to be under the new manager, who also masterminded a UCL win over lowly Pafos in the week. Will the West Londoners make it three wins on the spin under their new boss?

Our Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Prediction
Ismaila Sarr being back for the hosts is massive, especially in an offensive sense. It wouldn't be a surprise if Sarr caused a high-pressing Chelsea team lots of problems on the break, so don't be surprised if the Eagles find the net. Moreover, although they kept a clean sheet against the Bees last weekend, Rosenior's men looked very open, so much so that a run of clean sheets doesn't look imminent.
Neither team looks assured at the back, so this is a decent opportunity for both to thrive offensively. After all, the Blues typically score and concede when playing away from home.
