Crystal Palace play Chelsea in the Premier League 2022-23 at Selhurst Park in London on Saturday, October 1, 2022. The match will start at 7:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time).
Following the opening day defeat against Arsenal, Crystal Palace have managed to bring some stability in their performances with three draws and one win in their next six games. Their last Premier League match was a goalless draw against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park almost a month ago.
Chelsea’s form has been up and down at the start of the 2022-23 Premier League season. The Blues have failed to secure back-to-back wins in the first six games. Their UEFA Champions League form has also been underwhelming, losing once followed by a draw in the two games so far. Chelsea are without a clean sheet in all competitions since their win against Everton in the league in early August.
