Crystal Palace vs. Chelsea Picks
Crystal Palace are in turmoil with Oliver Glasner on the way out and Marc Guehi already gone. Chelsea, meanwhile, look a lot better under Liam Rosenior and could make the top four this season.
For me, there’s only one winner here and that’s Chelsea.
Other markets include Enzo Fernandez to have two or more shots on target, Jean-Phillippe Mateta to score and Alejandro Garnacho to score and assist.
