Crystal Palace vs Chelsea: Best Free Betting Tips
Chelsea return from the FIFA Club World Cup as champions but now have to shift their attention back to the Premier League and what feels like a must-win game against Crystal Palace. The hosts sit 13th in the table and have a very poor recent record against Chelsea, so it could be a long day at the office for the Eagles.

Chelsea to Win
We're backing Chelsea to win at Selhurst Park just as they have done on their last three visits. The visitors have won each of their last eight games against Crystal Palace, all of which have been in the league, so you can see why we're backing Chelsea to win this weekend. Palace have only lost one of their last six matches but it was at home, while Chelsea have won each of their last four matches in all competitions.
Under 2.5 Goals
This is a fixture that has produced plenty of goals in recent seasons but this time around we're predicting a close and competitive 90-minutes. Palace will be without star midfielder and top goalscorer, Conor Gallagher, as he can't play against his parent club and four of the host's last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals. Four of Chelsea's last six matches have witnessed fewer than three goals scored and Tuchel's man have not long travelled back from the UAE, so there are bound to be some tired legs.

Club World Cup champions Chelsea backed to beat the Eagles
Last weekend, Palace made the trip to Brentford where the pair played out a rather forgettable goalless draw. That point kept the eagles in 13th place and a win this weekend could move Crystal Palace up three places and into the top 10, providing results elsewhere go in their favour.
Crystal Palace Predicted lineup – Guaita, Ward, Andersen, Guéhi, Mitchell, Schlupp, Hughes, Olise, Ayew, Zaha & Édouard
Chelsea's last game was played at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi where the opening 90-minutes of the FIFA Club World Cup final ended all square with Lukaku putting the favourites in front and Veiga equalising from the penalty spot. In extra-time, Chelsea were awarded a penalty of their own which Havertz converted and Chelsea held on to claim their crown.
Chelsea Predicted lineup – Mendy, Silva, Azpilicueta, Rüdiger, Christensen, Kovačić, Kanté, Pulisic, Havertz, Lukaku & Hudson-Odoi
Team News
