Of course I'm enjoying Chelsea's struggles, but a bit like Arsenal on Sunday this is an opportunity for them to resume normal service. Up against Palace, who must be feeling like a boxer caught on the ropes after the last two games, they will surely have too much for the Eagles.
In fairness to Hodgson, this has been a really tough run of games he has had to deal with without his star man Zaha, plus other key players. Nothing to lose today, but I expect a cagey defensive set up, with Palace hitting on the break.
