Chelsea take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League game week 4 match today. The defending champions started the league on a poor note as they drew against Swansea City in the very first match. They suffered an embarrassing defeat against title rivals Manchester City in the second match.
Jose Mourinho became active immediately in the transfer market and hijacked Manchester United’s transfer deal and signed Pedro Rodriguez from Barcelona. The Spaniard was an instant success at the club as he scored a goal in his debut match and provided an assist as Chelsea defeated West Brom last week.
Crystal Palace on the other hand have not yet made a mark in the league as they have won just a match so far. Alan Pardew’s side looks good on paper and a competitve match is on the cards.
