It does depend on who is out for Chelsea. If Conte sees this game as a non-essential win, and sees us as easy opponents, then it may play into our hands if we are really up for it. Although, given their league position and form, is is going to be a big ask. It could be one of those games where after the first 3 minutes you know Chelsea are going to win the game comfortable and by a few goals. I'm already getting a bit carried away but lets see. If we can keep it even by half time then Chelsea might start to feel a bit rattled. I've been fortunate enough to see Palace win away at Chelsea last season and at home the season before. Gutted I won't make it but will be watching it from somewhere all the same.

We go into this match with positivity and belief we can have yet another say in the title race. It's essentially a free match for us, and I hope our supporters help make it memorable for all the right reasons, regardless of the result. (I'm hoping to be hearing you from the Home end...Shhh!)

We probably will go and do something nutty like have a shot on target. Hopefully, it will go in. That will leave just 4 mins to hold out. To keep it at 1-3 Of course, we can get a point but will need luck and 100% focus and best performances from everybody. Big chest and massive boobs [Link]

Chelsea - well no-one will be too disappointed if we end up losing by one or two, and the players do their best. For me, I'm sure we can beat Southampton. Their defence has no Fonte or Van Dijk, Austin is injured, and hopefully we will sell out our 3000 - c'mon get down there! - and our 3000 can easily make far more noise than their 27000. 2-0.

I believe we are capable of a draw. Especially if Hazard is out as expected. Chelsea have some great players but they have a few inconsistent ones. There have been plenty of games this season where they've been having an off day and Hazard has pulled them through. I hear he is unlikely to play against us so who knows.

Indeed, but him out as well leaves 'em a bit light at the back so they'd probably have to revert to a four which is when they look least comfortable. Costa's on the bench for Spain tonight so I guess he's ok. Hoping Kante keeps running himself into the ground trying to get the ball off the Spanish midfield. Edited by Nobbybm (28 Mar 2017 8.52pm) Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

On the last 3 of these type of threads most people have beeen pessamistic and weve ended up winning. Now everyone seems to think were going to get points from the champions - so we're bound to lose. Having said that chelsea have got to slip up sometime so who knows. COYP

Unfortunately the chances of us getting anything at Chelsea are somewhere between nought and zero.
