Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Chelsea have seen both teams score in four of their last five games and the Blues are without a clean sheet across their last 10 away matches in all competitions. Palace have seen BTTS in four of their last five at home and these two have conceded a combined 79 goals after 23 games this term.

Chelsea 3-1

Reason for tip

Chelsea have won three of their four visits to the bottom eight and they are fresh from an impressive win at Aston Villa. The Blues tend to be a bit of a nightmare for under-pressure Palace boss Roy Hodgson, as he has suffered 16 Premier League defeats against them. With Palace shipping 11 goals across their last three matches, back a 3-1 win for the visitors.

Christopher Nkunku To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Nkunku is still returning to full fitness, but the Frenchman has scored in Chelsea’s last two league trips. He got 72 minutes under his belt in their last league game and he can play a key role against a Palace defence which looks vulnerable.

  • Chelsea have conceded in their last 10 away trips

  • BTTS has landed in four of the hosts’ last five at home

Palace under pressure

Last weekend was a tough one for Crystal Palace, with fans protesting during their 4-1 defeat against rivals Brighton. The supporters are unhappy with both manager Roy Hodgson and those above him, while the decision to risk Michael Olise isn’t likely to have helped.

The Eagles have lost their star winger for a significant period after he was brought on in the second-half at Brighton, when the Eagles were already 3-0 down. Now they head into Monday’s game having lost three of their last four, while they meet a Chelsea side who are fresh from a big victory.

Progress for Pochettino?

After losing 4-1 at Liverpool and 4-2 at home to Wolves, pressure was growing on Chelsea heading into their FA Cup replay at Aston Villa. Coming away with a 3-1 win over a side who are on course for the Champions League was a real boost for Mauricio Pochettino, who needs cup progress to keep their season alive.

That win at Villa was a strong display from the Blues, but they head into this contest having failed to keep a clean sheet across their last 10 away trips. With eight goals shipped across their last two league games, the Chelsea defence still can’t be trusted.

Back goals at Selhurst Park

Crystal Palace are looking shaky defensively, having shipped 11 goals across their last three games. They head into this one with both teams scoring in four of their last five at Selhurst Park. Neither defence can really be trusted, with the pair conceding a combined 79 goals after 23 games this season.

Both teams to score stands out with both sides conceding around 1.7 goals per game, while Palace have seen BTTS land in six of their last seven at home in the league. Chelsea have won three of their four visits to the bottom eight in the league, so they can edge a high-scoring encounter.

With Palace struggling at the back, look to Nkunku to make an impact once again. The Frenchman has scored in Chelsea’s last two league trips and he’s already their fifth-top-scorer in the league after five appearances. He’s a great finisher and with this Palace defence looking shaky, he’s a good bet to find the net.
