Crystal Palace vs Chelsea
Chelsea head into the Crystal Palace tie knowing that their hopes of securing the Premier League title this year are all but over.
The Blues do have a game in hand on current league leaders Manchester City. But even if they win that, Chelsea would still be 13 points behind Manchester City with just 13 games of the season left to play.
Instead, Chelsea need to focus on ensuring they do not get drawn into the battle for 4th place.
Thomas Tuchel’s side are currently 3rd in the Premier League table. However, Arsenal would be just two points behind Chelsea if the Gunners win their two games in hand.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are struggling for any sort of form, having failed to win any of their last five league matches.
Palace will also be without key man Conor Gallagher this weekend as he is on loan from Chelsea.
