London is full of big clubs playing in the Premier League. If there is a capital derby in the English upper house, then Chelsea in particular is looking forward to it. The Blues have the best win odds of any London club in Premier League city duels. On Saturday, Crystal Palace is expected to be a local rival at Stamford Bridge.
For the Eagles, however, the record in the London duels looks poor. In the Premier League, only Fulham did worse in the capital’s internal duels. First of all, it sounds like a prediction of a victory for the Blues between Chelsea and Crystal Palace would be the logical consequence.
After all, Chelsea has won all of the last five direct duels and are now striving for the first time to get six straight wins against the Eagles. The odds comparison of the betting base indicates that a home win on Saturday is almost a formality. From a statistical point of view, however, what will hardly happen is a division of points.
In the last 18 games between the Blues and en Eagles, there was no more draw. Only the games between Newcastle and Tottenham and Chelsea and Sunderland went longer without a draw. In the Derby Chelsea against Crystal Palace, a tip on the division of points after 90 minutes should therefore be uninteresting.
Chelsea – Statistics & Current Form
The voices critical of Frank Lampard are getting louder. The Blues coach has used 56 different starting formations in 60 games. There seems to be a lack of continuity. In addition, he is accused of a lack of tactical understanding. The Chelsea legend seems to be slowly but surely crumbling.
Is Chelsea getting in shape over home strength?
The Blues have won six of the last seven home games in the Premier League, but the first home game of the new season was lost 2-0 to Liverpool. The last time Chelsea lost their first two home games of a season was 1978. At the end of the season, the Londoners were relegated. It won’t come to that in 2020.
However, Chelsea must be careful not to ruin the start of the season. In the league cup, there was a failure on penalties against the Spurs. In the Premier League table, the Blues are only ninth with four points from three games. Frank Lampard’s team still has a lot of room for improvement.
On Saturday the coach hopes that he can finally rely on Hakim Ziyech, who is still waiting for his first competitive game for the Blues after a knee injury in preparation. The derby against the Eagles will probably come too early. Otherwise, Billy Gilmour and Christian Pulisic are definitely not there.
The probable lineup of Chelsea:
↳ Caballero – Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Christensen, James – Kante, Kovacic – Werner, Havertz, Mount – Abraham
↳ Coach: Lampard

Crystal Palace – Statistics & Current Form
It’s a day that Roy Hodgson might be better off not getting up because trips to Stamford Bridge are rarely positive for the 73-year-old coach of the Eagles. Since 1998, Hodgson has not won an away game with the Blues with any club. Most recently there were six bankruptcies in a row for the coach in Chelsea.
A decent start to the season for the Eagles
Overall, however, Crystal Palace got into the season quite well. The Eagles will be able to get over the end of the league cup.
- “If it is true that I only lose at Stamford Bridge, we have to change that.” – Roy Hodgson
We reported about the appearances in the league in our Premier League tips and they were very good. With six out of nine possible points, Crystal Palace got off to a great start.
The Eagles suffered their first bankruptcy in the league last weekend. On points, it was a top game against Everton. Cheikhou Kouyate was able to equalize the first deficit. After the 1: 2 the Toffees did not come back into the game. The task at Stamford Bridge doesn’t get any easier and the well-known bookmakers are giving a clear forecast of a home win between Chelsea and Crystal Palace.
Apparently, Crystal Palace will have all players available at the weekend, unless players are sold at short notice. Wilfried Zaha in particular is very popular with some clubs. With Jordan Ayew, Michy Batshuayi, and Christian Benteke there are other great strikers available so that the Ivorian’s departure is not unlikely.
The probable lineup of Crystal Palace:
↳ Guaita – Mitchell, Sakho, Kouyate, Ward – McCarthy, McArthur, Eze, Townsend – Zaha, Ayew
↳ Coach: Hodgson
