We have three fixtures to look forward to in the English Premier League on the 15th of January, including the meeting between Chelsea and Crystal Palace.
The game will be played at Stamford Bridge and the hosts begin the weekend in 10th place on 25 points while the visitors are in 12th place on 22 points.
Chelsea come into the match on the back of a 2-1 loss at Fulham in the Premier League on Thursday night.
Having fallen a goal behind in the 25th minute, Chelsea equalised shortly after half time. However, Chelsea were reduced to ten men in the 58th minute and Fulham scored the winning goal 15 minutes later.
It was another disappointing result and performance from Chelsea and they have recorded just 1 win from their 8 most recent competitive fixtures.
They have failed to win any of their last 4 games and have lost each of their last 3 matches. The defeats have come against Manchester City in the Premier League and FA Cup plus Fulham in the league.
Chelsea have been struggling to win games in the Premier League and they have picked up just a single victory from their last 9 matches in the league. However, they are undefeated in 10 of their last 12 Premier League games at home and have won 4 of their last 7 on home soil.
Crystal Palace make the short journey to Stamford Bridge having suffered a 2-1 defeat at home against Southampton in their previous fixture which was in the FA Cup. The Eagles opened the scoring after only 14 minutes but conceded the equaliser 8 minutes before half time.
Southampton scored the only goal of the second half in the 68th minute to win the game and it was a disappointing result for Crystal Palace against the team currently bottom of the Premier League.
Trends show Crystal Palace have won 1 of their last 4 Premier League games. They beat Bournemouth at home but have lost at home against Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur plus Nottingham Forest away.
Away form in the league shows Crystal Palace have won just 2 of their last 10 fixtures on the road.
In Crystal Palace's last 3 away matches in all competitions, there have been under 2.5 goals scored and Crystal Palace have failed to score a goal in 4 of their last 6 away Premier League games.
Team news and Chelsea will be without new loan signing João Félix who is suspended. Raheem Sterling, Christian Pulisic, Edouard Mendy, Armando Broja, Ben Chilwell, and Reece James are injured.
There are also doubts over the fitness of Denis Zakaria, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Wesley Fofana, and Ngolo Kante.
Crystal Palace could be without James McArthur and Nathan Ferguson but they are the only two injury concerns for the visitors.
The pressure is on Graham Potter and he has several injury problems. However, there is plenty of talent in the Chelsea squad and with Crystal Palace struggling to score goals on the road, this could be the win Potter desperately needs. Chelsea could come out on top, keeping a clean sheet in the process.
