Chelsea are keen on taking all three points from their weekend Premier League battle against Crystal Palace this Saturday, December 14 when they host lowly, Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. A win will also give them a closer gap with their two rivals, Arsenal and Manchester City as those two teams are battling against each others this week.
Crystal Palace themselves will be hoping their recent positive run can continue this weekend, though things will definitely be difficult as overcoming the Blues at Stamford Bridge is a very difficult mission. The away side are obviously opting of snatching a point from that weekend battle to keep their run going and moving themselves away from relegation trouble.
The Blues got themselves back into winning ways in Premier League this weekend with a hard fought win over Crystal Palace. Mourinho's men got themselves in front after just 16 minutes through Fernando Torres' effort. However, that lead was canceled out on 29 minutes from Marouane Chamakh, but Chelsea regained their lead when Ramires strike home on 35 minutes, which lasted until the final whistle was blown.
