Chelsea Takes Champions League Quest To Selhurst Park

The Manchester United’s superb form since the restart of the game is inching them closer to a top-four finish and Leicester dropping points.

However, Chelsea will have one eye over their shoulder and one firmly looking forward when they take on Roy Hodgson’s men.

Crystal Palace have struggled following the restart, losing three of their four games back and have tumbled down to 13th in the Premier League.

Chelsea’s form since the football’s return has been largely positive, winning four of their first five games, but with Manchester United closing the gap between the two sides quickly.

Furthermore, the Blues will desperately need all three points on Tuesday or the story may not be interesting.

Palace will be without three defenders for the Chelsea game, with Martin Kelly, Jeffrey Schlupp and James Tomkins all out indefinitely with injuries. This may give Chelsea the needed boost if anything goes wrong at the defence wall.

Chelsea will be without Fikayo Tomori and Mateo Kovacic for the game, with both men gearing up for potential returns on July 11.

The Achor man Frank Lampard admitted on Saturday that N’Golo Kante looks likely to miss out with a knock.

Chelsea’s form has been solid for the most part since they returned to football, with a 2-1 win over Manchester City and a 3-0 win over Watford their best performances so far – but a chastening 3-2 defeat against West Ham just after defeating the reigning champions brought them down to earth with a bump
