Chelsea travel to face Crystal Palace in a London derby showdown this afternoon.

The Eagles are looking up again, having moved five points clear of the relegation zone last weekend after coming from behind to beat bottom club Southampton 2-1.

Palace have now lost only one of their last six Premier League games, raising hopes of shooting up the table after a difficult start to Oliver Glasner’s first full season in charge. Chelsea, meanwhile, need a lift.

While Enzo Maresca has long stressed that his side are not in the title race, he will want to arrest their relative slump as quickly as possible.

Monday’s 2-0 defeat at Ipswich means the Blues are without a win in three league games, halting their progress somewhat.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea is scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off time today on Saturday January 5, 2025.

Selhurst Park in London will host the contest.
