Can Chelsea win the 2019/20 Premier League title? Nobody could have made a case for the Blues after losing 4-0 at Old Trafford in their opening game of the season, although Frank Lampard has quickly started to get things right at Stamford Bridge.

Team news | League Table | Odds

The London side have 23 points from eleven games played and a win in this Saturday lunchtime fixture would actually see them leapfrog second-placed Manchester City before the latter head to Anfield on Sunday.

It has been five consecutive wins for Chelsea since losing at home to Liverpool and, despite a transfer embargo, Lampard has a glut of attacking options within the squad which means that players such as Callum Hudson-Odoi, Michy Batshuayi and Olivier Giroud are struggling for game time.

Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic were both outstanding at Watford last weekend and Christian Pulisic is now starting to justify his hefty price tag, with the American likely to cause untold problems for a Crystal Palace team who would love to have the firepower within the home team’s ranks.

Roy Hodgson bemoaned the lack of cutting edge when his team lost 2-0 at home to Leicester City on Sunday, with Palace in danger of sliding down the table despite a bright start to the campaign.

Palace do have two away wins and a draw on the board, with the Eagles having triumphed at Old Trafford and the London Stadium, while they came back from two goals down at the Emirates to record a draw.

However, they were spanked 4-0 at Tottenham and lost 1-0 at Sheffield United, while it should be noted that Chelsea are now looking defensively solid despite some silly mistakes that gives the opposition a chance.

Kurt Zouma and Fikayo Tomori are operating well in tandem and we’ll back Chelsea at the bigger price to win and keep a clean sheet in front of their own supporters.
