Crystal Palace will be hoping to finally score a goal this season, however this task will not be easy as they host champions, Chelsea this weekend.
Palace have suffered seven straight defeats this season in the league, but Roy Hodgson is still optimistic that he is the man to turn their fortunes around.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will be hoping to recover from their 1-0 defeat to Manchester City, after an exceptional Kevin De Bruyne goal.
That was the Blues’ second home defeat of the season, but their away form bodes well for manager Antonio Conte.
However, they will have to do without Alvaro Morata after he pulled up with an injury in the match against Man City.
