5 bold Premier League predictions: Liverpool win at Old Trafford

2. Crystal Palace win at Stamford Bridge

Crystal Palace put in one of their best performances of the season on Monday night, when they should’ve beaten Manchester United after leading 2-0. Unfortunately for Eagles fans, their side succumbed to a very late Nemanja Matic wonder-strike to lose 3-2.

Roy Hodgson and his players would have been extremely frustrated with the outcome, but they can certainly take positives from the match. They outplayed a superior side for large stretches and if it weren’t for some poor defending, they probably would’ve won.

In Saturday’s late game, they face a trip to Stamford Bridge. Palace’s first win of the season came over the Blues at Selhurst Park and with Chelsea in a bad run of form, they’ll be hopeful of causing another upset.

The Blues are fighting for a top-four place, but they have a much more important game against Barcelona the following Wednesday. That could lead to their players taking a more relaxed approach toward a game they should probably win.

If Hodgson’s men sort out their defensive woes, they have the potential to win this match. They’re yet to win a game without Wilfried Zaha in the side, but this weekend’s contest will change that stat.
