Chelsea will be looking to boost their Champions League qualification hopes when they face an out-of-sorts Crystal Palace side in their latest Premier League fixture.

Here, Sports Mole provides details of how to tune into this fixture.

What is at stake for Crystal Palace and Chelsea?

Crystal Palace are desperate to end a miserable 10-game winless run in all competitions (D3 L7) and turn their fortunes around under frustrated head coach Oliver Glasner, who has announced that he will be leaving the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.

At the time of writing, it remains to be seen whether Jean-Philippe Mateta will be available for selection after he allegedly requested to leave the club this month, not long after Marc Guehi completed his £20m move to Manchester City.

Palace sit 13th in the Premier League table, and while a victory against Chelsea would not be enough to see them climb back into the top half, it would provide a much-needed morale boost and strengthen their hopes of qualifying for Europe.

Meanwhile, Chelsea ended a five-game winless run in the Premier League with a 2-0 success over West London rivals Brentford last weekend, and that result helped them to climb up to sixth in the table.

Liam Rosenior’s side enter this contest at Selhurst Park on the back of an unconvincing 1-0 home win over Cypriot outfit Pafos in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
