Palace could pinch consolation at Stamford Bridge

Premier League
3pm Saturday

Three successive wins have lifted Crystal Palace four points clear of the drop zone but their mini-revival is highly likely to end at Stamford Bridge.

Palace's confidence is on the rise and they may cause Chelsea problems with the pace and trickery of Wilfried Zaha and the aerial threat of Christian Benteke.

However, Chelsea have the knack of winning difficult games and should prevail in an entertaining London derby.

Recommendation
Chelsea win and both teams to score
1pt 13-5 general
