Crystal Palace start the game in fifth just four points adrift of the Champions League places. That's not a position they are accustomed to but despite a few quiet periods they've managed to stay in the top six or seven for most of the season. They've drawn their last two league games 0-0 against Bournemouth and Swansea which aren't the most thrilling of results. Home form has seen just one defeat in their last five league games and while not being that spectacular apart from a thrashing of Newcastle, they remain reasonably solid at Selhurst Park. Chelsea are unbeaten since they sacked Jose Mourinho. A win and two draws still keeps them in the lower half of the table and only three points above the relegation zone. There are sprouts of a recovery not that it's likely to take them into the top four but have gone seven away league games without a win and just one goal in their last four. That's not going to get them out of trouble is it?  Palace have struggled against some of the top sides but I think the best bet here is on under 2.5 goals being scored.
