Preview
This week, I want to try and be positive, but it is a real struggle. Chelsea look like a machine and with or without Belgian Eden Hazard, they will still be a threat. Spaniard Diego Costa is going to test a patched together back line that would likely have struggled if they were all fully fit. Again, I think set pieces will be key to Palace’s chances and as you can see below, the odds on Damien Delaney scoring from a set piece are of ridiculous value for someone who likes to wander forward at points during games anyway. If I was asked to give a score, then my heart would say 2-2, but my head says 1-3.
