Crystal Palace continue their testing recent run with a journey across the capital to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea on Wednesday evening.

The busy festive period has been tougher than most for Palace, who have faced Liverpool, Manchester City and rivals Brighton & Hove Albion in their last three Premier League games, and it’s the Blues up next.

Chelsea may not quite be the heavyweights of past years, but their record against the Eagles is undeniable – having won 12 on the bounce against the South Londoners.

Palace have not beaten Wednesday’s hosts since October 2017. Wilfried Zaha bagged the winner that day as Hodgson, in his previous spell at Selhurst Park, got the better of then-Blues boss Antonio Conte.

Lots has changed at Stamford Bridge since, but it doesn’t feel like the visitors have made quite the progress they would have wanted to in the last six years, which is why many Eagles fans are calling for a change in the dugout.
