Crystal Palace vs Chelsea: Best Free Betting Tips
Graham Potter takes charge of his first Premier League game in charge of Chelsea this weekend and will be desperate to get off to a winning start. Crystal Palace haven't enjoyed the best of starts to the new season but always give their best and can be hard to defeat on their day.

Chelsea to Win
We're backing Potter and Chelsea to get off to a winning start against a Crystal Palace side that have lost their last 10 competitive matches against Saturday's guests. Chelsea haven't even conceded a goal in their last three games against Palace and we expect the home side to struggle against what will be a new look and newly organised Chelsea starting eleven. The Eagles are without a win in their last three matches in all competitions and sit 16th in the Premier League table, while Chelsea have won two of their last three outings in the league.
Both Teams to Score
Given the way Graham Potter's Brighton side played for the most part, we're backing both teams to score on Saturday. Both teams have scored in four of Crystal Palace's and four of Chelsea's last six outings in all competitions, and Potter wasn't exactly renowned for his defending at Brighton and prefers to play an attractive style of football that should produce more goals for Chelsea and the expense of clean sheets.

Potter facing tough first Premier League game in charge of Chelsea
Crystal Palace faced a tricky away game against Newcastle in their last Premier League match. The game itself won't live long in the memory as both teams failed to find a breakthrough and had to settle for a point apiece. That draw was more welcomed by the Eagles as they kept a clean sheet against a Newcastle side tipped to challenge for European football this season.
Crystal Palace Predicted lineup – Guaita, Ward, Andersen, Guéhi, Mitchell, Schlupp, Eze, Doucouré, Ayew, Zaha & Mateta
Chelsea's last league game at home to West Ham produced a win with a little help from VAR. The first half was poor and ended goalless but once Antonio tapped home from close range to put West Ham 1-0 just after the hour mark, Chelsea sparked into life. Full-back Chilwell finished from an acute angle to make it 1-1 and 2-minutes from time, Havertz scored what turned out to be the winning goal. West Ham had the ball in the back of the net in the dying moment but VAR disallowed the goal for an apparent foul on Mendy in the Chelsea goal, though, most agree that wasn't the case.
Chelsea Predicted lineup – Mendy, Silva, Koulibaly, Cucurella, James, Fofana, Kovačić, Loftus-Cheek, Pulišić, Gallagher & Sterling
Team News
Crystal Palace: Nathan Ferguson, Jack Butland, James McArthur and James Tomkins could miss out once again for the home side.
