The Premier League season continues with Gameweek 20. The action begins with Tottenham hosting Newcastle, followed by five matches kicking off simultaneously, including Crystal Palace vs. Chelsea at Selhurst Park. Chelsea will be desperate to get back to winning ways when they face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Crystal Palace had a rough start to the season, struggling near the relegation zone with win hard to come by. However, they have seen a resurgence under Oliver Glasner lately, with the Eagles losing just two of their last 11 Premier League games that has pulled them out of immediate danger, placing them five points ahead of 18th-placed Ipswich Town.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have seen a decline in their form lately, despite showing earlier promise under Enzo Maresca. Once considered an outside contender for the Premier League title, a three-match winless streak has left the West London side ten points behind league leaders Liverpool, further diminishing their already slim hopes.
In the reverse fixture earlier this season, Crystal Palace fought back from a goal down to secure a 1-1 draw, with Eberechi Eze scoring the equalizer.
Oliver Glasner has received a mix of good and bad news regarding team updates ahead of Crystal Palace’s clash with Chelsea on Saturday. The Eagles’ manager will be without five first-team players for the match.
Marc Guehi returns to action after serving a suspension, but Trevoh Chalobah is ineligible to play against his parent club this weekend. Meanwhile, Matheus Franca (groin), Adam Wharton (groin), and Franco Umeh-Chibueze (hamstring) are still sidelined due to injuries, and Rob Holding remains excluded from the first-team setup.
Meanwhile, Enzo Maresca has no fresh concerns as he prepares Chelsea for the trip to Selhurst Park. The Blues’ manager might only be missing three first-team players for Saturday’s game.
Maresca is awaiting updates on the fitness of Carney Chukwuemeka (illness), Romeo Lavia (hamstring), and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (knock), with all three undergoing late fitness tests. However, Wesley Fofana (hamstring) and Benoit Badiashile (undisclosed) remain unavailable, while Mykhailo Mudryk is out indefinitely.
