Chelsea looking to extend best-ever Premier League record versus Crystal Palace

Chelsea will be attempting to extend a Premier League record when they meet Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.

The Blues spent last week winning the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi, meaning that it has been nearly three weeks since they last competed in England's top flight.

Thomas Tuchel and his squad will be focused on collecting an important three points at Selhurst Park now that they find themselves in a race for the top four.

However, should Chelsea prevail against their London neighbours, they will increase a Premier League record for percentage of victories against one opponent.

Chelsea have won 19 of their 25 Premier League meetings with the Eagles, a league-high percentage of 76% when only including fixtures which have taken place 20 times or more.

The most recent encounter, which featured on the opening weekend of the season, ended in a 3-0 triumph for Chelsea.
