Match Preview | |
Chelsea Vs Crystal Palace Preview. Chelsea will face Palace in the 2021/22 Premier League opener which will take place at Stamford Bridge, Saturday (14/08/2021) at 7:30 p.m. Indian time.
Chelsea last season was only able to finish in the fourth position in the standings with 67 points. This season, Chelsea is of course ambitious to be able to embrace the title. Thomas Tuchel's troops have even brought Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan at a price that is fantastic enough to compete in the race for the title.
Ahead of this match itself, Chelsea are confident high. The Blues just won the 2021 UEFA Super Cup after beating Villarreal 6-5 on penalties.
Thanks to this victory, Chelsea is now recorded without being touched by defeat even in their last 5 matches in all competitions (W4 D1 L0).
Meanwhile, Palace, who played against Chelsea in this match, was only able to finish in the fourteenth position in the standings with 44 points last season.
Palace itself has prepared very well ahead of this match. Last weekend, Palace succeeded in picking up a convincing 3-1 victory over Watford in a friendly match. The victory left Palace unbeaten even in their 5 pre-season games this year (W4 D1 L0).
