English Premier League: Saturday’s rodeo starts off with a bang – Matchday 30
A South London Derby ends all the action of Saturday’s Matchday 30. Dropping Crystal Palace journeys to Chelsea where they seek a must win outcome.
Chelsea fights to bridge the gap between them and rivals Tottenham to make up for lost time in the quest for Champions League. Whereas Palace tries to answer to a tougher ask, than their previous match against Man United.
With Palace only able to play for 45 minutes – that will be all Chelsea needs to break the broken defence. Roy’s men will have to apply their focus for the full 90 if they to get anything from this fixture.

Unfortunately for Palace, the talent again outdoes them 10-1 and gives them no hope away from home. However, with this being said – if Chelsea shows no urgency as they did prior to this against United’s neighbours, City.

Crystal Palace could become only the second away team to win three consecutive PL matches at Stamford Bridge, after Blackburn Rovers (1993/94-1995/96).

They must look to punish them if they caught ball watching. Which Conte’s men did for almost the whole second half of the tie.
