Prediction

  • Chelsea lost their third league game from their last four outings at Wolves on Christmas Eve. The Blues are at least unbeaten in three at Stamford Bridge, winning two.
  • Crystal Palace's winless run extended to seven matches last week as they were held to a 1-1 draw with Brighton. Palace have lost their last 12 trips to Chelsea.
  • Chelsea remain one of the more inconsistent sides in the league but their solid home record means they should get back to winning ways on Wednesday.

    After 19 games we have 25 points and sit 10. Poch as the worst manager since AVB.

    2 previous penalties performed by Madueke were almost identical, as graphic showed before this one. Funny, that he placed the ball again in the same area. I wonder if it was still possible that someone informed Henderson about it :)
