Chelsea has definitely shown progress in recent months. They qualified for the Champions League, won the Conference League, and then the Club World Cup. They have recorded good victories in their pre-season friendlies against Leverkusen and Milan. They have also added some fresh names, like Joao Pedro for example, who immediately started scoring goals.
However, Crystal Palace also shows strength, winning the FA Cup, and a week ago the Community Shield, after making a 2-2 draw with Liverpool and beating them in penalties. Chelsea has not been defeated in 16 consecutive matches, but last season they made two 1-1 draws against their London opponent, so they should not be underestimated now.
Prediction: Both teams to scoreChelsea is logically the favorite again in the match, but it seems to me that Crystal Palace is also capable of scoring a goal, as they have shown in their recent performances.
