Out-of-form Crystal Palace welcome fellow Londoners, Chelsea, to Selhurst Park as the Blues aim to strengthen their Champions League bid.
After a good run of form stretching back to February, Palace are without a win in their last three outings - failing to score in each of them.
Seemingly out of the grasps of a relegation battle and too far off a European-place finish, Roy Hodgson’s men will be aiming to end the season on a high.
Chelsea, on-the-other-hand, are in pole position to secure a Champions League spot going into the last 5 games of the 2019/20 Premier League campaign.
After suffering a defeat at The London Stadium, Frank Lampard’s men recovered with a resounding 3-0 victory against Watford at Stamford Bridge.
