Gabriel Agbonlahor has made his score prediction ahead of Crystal Palace against Chelsea in the Premier League.
Palace host London rivals Chelsea on Monday night in the Premier League, the final game of this weekend’s round of league matches
They clashed as recently as December in the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge, which the Blues ended up winning by a 2-1 scoreline courtesy of Noni Madueke’s late spot-kick.
Let’s wait and see if Palace can exact some revenge in a few days time.
TalkSPORT pundit Agbonlahor has tipped a home win at Selhurst Park on Monday.
Yes, Chelsea’s form on the road been inconsistent. However, it’s a surprise prediction given the significant injury absences that Palace are dealing with.
Palace stars Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi have all been ruled out of Monday through injury, confirmed via their official website.

When predicting the score ahead of Palace vs Chelsea, Agbonlahor told talkSPORT: “I could see a Crystal Palace win. It’s a bit of a crisis at the moment for Chelsea to be honest. Crystal Palace, home advantage and get that crowd on your side, I’m going to go with a 2-1 win to Crystal Palace.”
Crystal Palace vs Chelsea
Remarkably, Chelsea are on a 13-game winning streak against Palace across all competitions that dates back to 2017.
We feel Mauricio Pochettino’s side should be under serious pressure because of their league form, but deep runs in domestic cup competitions is a welcomed distraction. It still feels pretty important they get maximum points on Monday because they play Manchester City and Tottenham afterwards in the league.
The Chelsea Chronicle has predicted the starting line-up that Pochettino will select versus Palace. Aside from enforced changes, the Blues need the same team that destroyed Aston Villa in midweek in the FA Cup.
