Chelsea are approaching the match in excellent form, the "blues" are regaining their status quo, having won the UEFA Conference League last season, finished in the Champions League zone, and sensationally defeated PSG in the Club World Cup final. The team has won 5 victories in a row, including crushing victories over Milan (4:1) and Bayer (2:0).
Crystal Palace are also showing good results, having beaten Liverpool (2:3) in the UEFA Super Cup. In the last face-to-face meetings with Chelsea, the "eagles" demonstrated tenacity, but now the Londoners look stronger.
