Tip:: Chelsea @ 1.55 (Betfair)

I’ve done well by betting against the beleaguered Crystal Palace each week and with their captain now departed I see no reason to stop. The Eagles’ small squad has struggled badly with their added European commitments this season. They currently have the most injuries of any Premier League team, with up to 10 players out. Palace have made just 22 changes to their starting XI this season, which is nine fewer than any other team. Chelsea, meanwhile, are enjoying a new manager bounce under Liam Rosenior. The Blues boast a 9-1-2 record at Selhurst Park since the Eagles were promoted. Palace have won just twice at home this season (2-5-3).
