Chelsea have won 16 of their last 20 Premier League meetings with Crystal Palace (L4), including the last seven.
The Blues have lost their opening match in two of the last four Premier League seasons (W2), as many as they had in the previous 23 campaigns (W16 D5 L2).
As a player, Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira never ended on the losing side against Chelsea in the Premier League, winning six and drawing four of his 10 matches against them. It's the most a player has ever faced Chelsea in the competition without losing.
After winning back-to-back league matches at Chelsea in 2015/16 and 2016/17, Palace have lost their last four visits to Stamford Bridge by an aggregate score of 11-2.
