5 bold Premier League predictions: Arsenal end Liverpool’s unbeaten run

3. Zaha leads Palace to win over Chelsea

Chelsea host Crystal Palace in one of two Sunday matches as the Blues look to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League season. Maurizio Sarri has done a fantastic job at Chelsea so far, and this game should really be an easy win for the Italian’s side.

Crystal Palace have had a very up and down season so far but last weekend they had an upper as they managed to get a good point against Arsenal in a 2-2 draw. Roy Hodgson would have been happy with that considering previous poor results.

Hodgson will know his side will have to produce something extraordinary in order to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but with a player like Wilfried Zaha in the squad that’s definitely possible.

Zaha always gives Palace a fighting chance no matter who they’re playing and he can definitely cause this Chelsea side problems. The Blues have only conceded seven goals this season but six of them have come at home which is a positive sign for Crystal Palace.

Chelsea will dominate just about every stat in this match — possession, shots, corners and more. That means that Palace will need to defend resiliently and take their chances on the break when they come.

The way Chelsea will have possession should lead to most of their side being camped in the Palace half so breakaways at pace, led by the likes of Zaha, are going to be the Eagles’ best chance of scoring.

That and set-pieces are probably Hodgson and Crystal Palace’s best chances of taking anything from this game. Chelsea have had an amazing start to the season but they’ll face a massive shock on Sunday as Zaha leads his side to a big away win.
