PREVIEW | Chelsea vs Crystal Palace - team news, lineups, predictions | OneFootball

Chelsea and Crystal Palace face each other this Sunday at the Stamford Bridge for matchweek one of the Premier League. Chelsea mark their 91st participation in the competition, whilst Crystal Palace go into their 26th. The match will be broadcast live at 14:00 on Sky Sports Main Event.

In their last game, Chelsea won 4-1 against Milan (Pre-season 2025/26). Last time out, Crystal Palace drew 2-2 against Liverpool (The FA Community Shield 2025).

The last meeting between the two teams ended in a 1-1 draw.

The Fan Zone

Jay Crame (The Eagles Beak): A London derby between two clubs that have won silverware this year, a habit that is very infectious. It remains to be seen if the hosts exertions in the summer will affect their start to the season, but this is compelling match up between two in form sides. The Eagles head into the game off the back of the Community Shield victory and knowing that the next few weeks are congested with the Conference League play off added to the calendar. Palace have looked good in pre season heading into the game with Liverpool last weekend so the start to this season is expected to be better than the last campaign.

Prediction: 1-1
