Reeling Crystal Palace look to give Selhurst Park a little bit of joy against uneven Chelsea on Sunday.
The Eagles have claimed just two points from their past seven Premier League games and haven’t won a game in any competition since a Dec. 11 win at Shelbourne in the Conference League.
Their manager, Oliver Glasner, has announced that he’s leaving the team after the season, their captain’s been sold to Manchester City, and star forward Jean-Philippe Mateta is being linked with a move away from the club. Oh, and Glasner’s last post-game press conference had many thinking he could leave even earlier. Not ideal!
WATCH — Crystal Palace v Chelsea
Chelsea are taking their first steps under the leadership of new manager Liam Rosenior, who oversaw a 2-0 win over Brentford on his Premier League debut.
He’s also managed the club to an FA Cup third round win at Charlton Athletic, a 3-2 League Cup semifinal first leg loss versus Arsenal, and a too-close 1-0 win over Pafos in the UEFA Champions League.
That most recent result was a win but didn’t earn the Blues style points from the Stamford Bridge faithful.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea prediction
Palace were fourth on December 7. They’re 13th now and likely feeling grateful the bottom three teams have hauled in so few points. There’s some talent there at Selhurst Park but who is steering the ship right now? Are the players with Glasner? Too many questions. Crystal Palace 0-2 Chelsea .
