Odds on Palace getting their first goal and points against us?

Was just thinking this myself. It's perfectly set up. They've got zero points, zero goals, lost their only real goal threat to a bad injury, and we'll be coming out of a long international break. They've looked embarrassingly shambolic in nearly all of their matches.

So of case they'll play out of their skin against us an probably win. 

I'd start to seriously fear for our top 4 chances already if we don't get 3 points there, nevermind any thoughts of the title.

I don't think they will beat us but they will definitely score. Just one of those weird quirks going back for decades is players or teams would always break their ducks against Chelsea. One off the top of my head was Ian Rush joined Leeds and he couldn't score in a brothel until they played us of course.

Should be straightforward..but they beat us at home last year after being in a poor stage so wouldn't surprise me..don't be annoying Chelsea! Hopefully everyone will turn up and be up for it

Set up for us to fail but surely we won't lose to them at home 2 years in a row?

And not to mention, our tendency to make poor teams look good.

It's at Selhurst Park home of the middle class wannabe Ultra's.

We play them after the internation break, just like last season when we lost to them. So you got it half correct

[lucio 5,418]

missed the game, looks like we need to buy attacking midfielders/wingers, willian is not good enough, pedro is hit and miss. Look at citys options in that department, no wonder we struggle to create

Newcastle ?

CP are not on the same league but I expect a lousy performance and Palace will manage to scrape a 1-0 win.

Let me rephrase that a bit - we have a history of making bad teams look good.

This was 2 years ago but remember QPR away in 2015?
