Crystal Palace and Chelsea take each other on in a London derby at the Selhurst Park Stadium in the capital city of the United Kingdom in the Premier League on Monday.

They have also been unbeaten in their last 4 home games, and this means that they will be keen on picking up all three points in this game against their cross-town rival. Their star player Eberechi Eze has the most shots on target per match for Crystal Palace (1.5).

Injury Report

Both teams have a long list of injured players in their ranks. While Palace will have to make do without the services of Rob Holding, Nathan Ferguson and Joel Ward in this game, Chelsea will have to make do without Romeo Lavia, Robert Sanchez and Reece James among others.

Neither Crystal Palace nor Chelsea appear to be the overwhelming favourites to win this game. Ranked 8th in goals scored per match (1.7 goals), Chelsea have been awarded the most penalties this season (8). The Blues also haven't lost to Crystal Palace in their last 13 meetings (13W, D).
