Complete analysis of the confrontation in the Premier League

Context and current state of the equipment

Crystal Palace: deep crisis and key casualties, motivation in doubt

Crystal Palace comes into the matchup in a complicated situation. The last victory dates back to December 11 in the Conference League, and in the last ten games they have only obtained one draw. They belong to the lower middle zone, located in 14th place, with only 28 points in the Premier League. The negative dynamic has been influenced by several serious injuries, departures of key players and motivation problems of the coaching staff.

Performance at home has been especially poor, with only two wins in 11 home games. The 1-2 defeat against Sunderland shows their defensive fragility and lack of ideas in attack. Furthermore, the departure of Mark Guehi to Manchester City and the possible departure of Jean-Philippe Mateta generate uncertainty in the starting eleven.

Probable injuries and alignments

Injured: Cardines, Doucouré, Kporha, Nketiah, Kamada
Doubts: Muñoz, Jorgensen, Palmer
Estimated lineup: Henderson; Lerma, Richards, Lacroix; Devenney, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Sarr, Johnson; Uche

Chelsea: improving with new schemes and high motivation

Chelsea have experienced a comeback after the appointment of Liam Rosenior as the new manager. The double consecutive victory, against Brentford and Paphos, reflects a recovery in the defensive system and greater stability in attack. The “aristocrats” currently occupy sixth place, just two points from the top 4, which keeps them in the fight to qualify for the Champions League.

In away games, they have had difficulties, with a winless streak in foreign stadiums extending to five games. However, in their recent history at Selhurst Park, Chelsea have obtained numerous positive results, with 10 wins and one draw since 2014. This favors their strategy and confidence for the duel.

Probable injuries and alignments

Injured: Colville, Lavia, Adarabioyo
Questionable: Jorgensen, Palmer
Estimated lineup: Sánchez; Acheampong, Chalobah, Fofana, Cucurella; Caicedo, James; Estevao, Fernández, Neto; Joao Pedro
