Odds Now's Crystal Palace vs Chelsea selection
Crystal Palace's three-match winless run came to an end with a 2-1 home victory against Southampton last time out, marking their first home win since the end of October.
The Eagles now find themselves five points above the relegation zone heading into this weekend and will be boosted by the return of club captain Marc Guehi, who was suspended for the Southampton match.
They prepare to face a Chelsea side who have hit a stumbling block after an impressive start to life under Enzo Maresca.
The Blues have failed to win any of their last three league games and have suffered consecutive losses to both Fulham and Ipswich.
Chelsea were within touching distance of league leaders Liverpool at the start of December, yet now find themselves 10 points adrift of the Merseysiders halfway through the campaign.

Chelsea's exceptional record at Selhurst Park
The away side will be significantly boosted by their recent record in this fixture.
Chelsea have won 14 of their previous 15 meetings with Palace in all competitions, with the only exception being the sides' 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge earlier this season.
The run includes six consecutive victories at Selhurst Park for the visitors, whose wealth of options in forward areas will surely see them pickup a first win in three this weekend.
Palace have scored in five of their last six home matches though, and face a Chelsea side who only have four clean sheets to their name this season.
Backing the Chelsea win with both teams scoring at 12/5 looks a more than worthy punt given everything we've seen from these two so far.
