Chelsea suffered a poor end to 2024 and travel to Selhurst Park on Saturday looking for a Premier League win over Crystal Palace to start the new year with three points. Enzo Maresca's side lost to both Fulham and Ipswich Town and are now 10 points behind league leaders Liverpool who also have played one game less despite the Blues winning eight consecutive games post-November internationals.

Chelsea will travel across town to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace, looking to end a two game losing streak in the Premier League.

Enzo Maresca bemoaned his Chelsea side’s wasteful finishing after they were punished by Crystal Palace ’s late equaliser at Selhurst Park. The Blues dominated the first-half of Saturday’s Premier League meeting and made a host of chances even as the Eagles improved after the break, but failed to add to Cole Palmer’s 14th-minute opener.
