Chelsea: news and form

The London Blues are having a season that no one really expected. The Londoners have been one of the teams that have invested the most money this summer. So far, it hasn’t really brought in much for the club in the English capital. Thomas Tuchel had to leave the Blues and his successor, Graham Potter, failed to raise the bar. Last Sunday, Chelsea faced Manchester City and the Sky Blues didn’t have a chance from the start of the game. The Blues were already down 3-0 at halftime and ended up losing 4-0. Many fans gave free rein to their frustration and sang of a possible return of Tuchel on the Chelsea bench. The week was also marked by another setback. The Blues lost the derby to promoted Fulham 1-2.

Chelsea’s last five games:
D–D–D-NOT-V

The Blues are aware of their current situation and it is above all the attack which is Chelsea’s problem area. The 21 goals in question is a frightening tally considering the type of players who play in attack at Chelsea. During the week, a new hope was hired. Joao Felix has arrived from Madrid on a €10m loan and the Portuguese needs to relieve Kai Havertz on the wing so the Germany international can move to the centre. In addition to the inefficiency in attack, the Blues also have, it must be admitted, some injury concerns. For example, Kante, Chilwell, Pulisic, Sterling and James are all out.

Crystal Palace: news and form

Crystal Palace’s Eagles are also not at their best this season. Patrick Viera’s side sit only eleventh in the standings and the Londoners wanted to aim higher this year and maybe even international places. Taking a closer look at Palace’s current situation, there isn’t much argument for the Eagles to feature in international competition next year. Not only are they six points behind sixth place, currently occupied by Liverpool, but they have won just two of their last six games.

Crystal Palace’s last five games:
D–D–V-D–D

At Crystal Palace, a lot depends on star player Wilfried Zaha. The Ivorian is the most important character at the Eagles. The winger’s contract expires this summer and there are hardly any indications that he will extend it. Palace is therefore wondering whether to sell it this winter or let it go this summer without compensation. With six goals and two assists, the 30-year-old is by far Crystal Palace’s top scorer. But his form curve is also down. He hasn’t scored for four games now.
