Premier League - Crystal Palace v Chelsea
Crystal Palace vs Chelsea live
Liam Rosenior today faces his fifth match as Chelsea manager and his fourth London derby as the Blues head south of the river to face Crystal Palace. The former Strasbourg boss has made a positive start to life with the club and won on debut in the south-east as he beat Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup, but faces a far stiffer challenge today against Oliver Glasner’s Eagles.
With that said, Crystal Palace are the pick of the Premier League crisis clubs at the moment. After winning the FA Cup and Community Shield in 2025, everything quickly unravelled in the new year as Marc Guehi was sold to Manchester City and Oliver Glasner confirmed he would leave the club in the summer amid growing tensions with Steve Parish. To make matters worse, misfiring striker Jean-Philippe Mateta also seems to be engineering a move away from the club, with reported interest both at home and abroad.
Nothing is given for Chelsea, though Rosenior will be confident of extending his record to four wins from five - and a third consecutive clean sheet would not go amiss, either. Follow the action LIVE below with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog, complete with expert insight and analysis from Dom Smith at Selhurst Park.
