Crystal Palace vs Chelsea live updates! — By Joe Prince-Wright
Adam Wharton sent off
Wharton picks up his second yellow card of the game as he slides in on Caicedo. Palace down to 10 players with just under 20 minutes left.
Enzo Fernandez slots home the penalty kick calmly
What a penalty kick from Enzo as Dean Henderson has no chance and is rooted to the spot. 3-0 to Chelsea. Game over.
Big handball calls from Chelsea... and it’s a penalty!
VAR check for a potential penalty kick for Chelsea as Joao Pedro’s shot hits Canvot’s arm. The referee gives a penalty after a long check as he books Canvot for accidental handball.
Joao Pedro finishes superbly!
Joao Pedro plays a lovely give-and-go with Estevao and is away. He still has plenty to do but cuts inside Wharton and drills a low shot on goal which squirms through Henderson. It’s early in the second half and Chelsea are cruising.
Half time: Crystal Palace 0-1 Chelsea
A very tight game with a couple of big chances for Palace, but Chelsea area ahead thanks to Estevao’s really well taken goal on the counter.
Estevao so close to a second on the break
A long ball forward sees Estevao played in again and he races clear but smashes his effort wide of the far post. Almost a carbon copy of his goal.
Estevao with a beauty on the counter!
Palace play a ball back and Estevao latches on to it. He has so much to do but runs from the halfway line, holds off Tyrick Mitchell and smashes home past Henderson. The teenager has Chelsea ahead.
Caicedo has to watch himself here...
He’s already on a yellow card and he’s just taken down Sarr. Chelsea really can’t afford yet another red card.
Sarr goes close!
A long throw from Palace is flicked on by Reece James towards his own goal and Sarr gets in front of Cucurella and Sanchez but flicks his shot wide. Another really good chance.
Caicedo fires wide
The ball is knocked down to the edge of the box and Moises Caicedo is there, but his effort flies wide. He was under pressure but that was another decent chance for a Chelsea midfielder.
Fernandez smashes over
Good play from Neto and Cucurella down the left and they set up Enzo Fernandez. His shot is over the bar from a good position. Decent chance for Chelsea.
Sanchez with a huge save to deny Mateta!
Badiashile gets caught on the ball and Mateta is clean through. He doesn’t look confident as he’s bearing down on goal and Robert Sanchez makes a really good save with his legs. Huge stop from the Chelsea goalkeeper but Palace should be ahead.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea preview
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!
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 .
