Our prediction: Chelsea v Crystal Palace
Chelsea know this is a marathon, not a sprint. They’re terrific in knockout circumstances against the best in the world, but their end-of-season league form was hardly electric against lower-half opponents.
The Blues would love nothing more than a resounding victory to settle into the new campaign.
Palace won’t instantly plunge without Roy Hodgson at the helm, it was the right time to part ways, but there is inexperience in their revolutionised squad and in the dugout. They could be taught a lesson or two here.
Our prediction: Chelsea 3-0 Crystal Palace (7/1 at bet365)
