LONDON, England – Di Premier League dey hot as Chelsea and Crystal Palace go face off for Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Na London derby wey no wan miss! Both teams don win three trophies last season, but now na di new season wey matter pass.
Crystal Palace just collect Community Shield last week, while Chelsea dey fresh off dem Conference League and Club World Cup victory. Dis one no be beans o! Chelsea finish fourth last season, and dem gree say dis season dem gatz aim for better.
Di coach for Chelsea, Maresca, face plenty pressure, even though him don win cup. Last season na wah for di Blues as dem almost fall out of Champions League race. Dis preseason no dey long as dem just finish Club World Cup. Now, dem don spend plenty cash again but e no mean say dem fit carry di title – no be so e be!
On top dis match, Chelsea dey face tough fixture as dem go battle four other London clubs in di first four matches. Last season dem use lose to Manchester City for di opening weekend. Na wetin make dem dey cautious. But e no too pass dem as dem don beat Palace for all di last 15 encounters. Which na serious statistics!
As for Palace, dem go need shine well; dem no wan start again like last season when dem struggle till di end. Despite dem solid match against Liverpool for Community Shield where dem win for penalties, di future of ogbonna players like Guehi and Eze dey shaky due to transfer rumors.
Both teams dey battle serious injury concerns. Chelsea dey miss players like Jackson and wey don suffer ACL injury. Di defenders gather injury too, so na Adarabioyo and Chalobah go hold di back line. While for Palace, Nketiah dey out due to muscle injury. No be small matter o!
As e dey hot, we fit see anything for dis match, even though history dey favor Chelsea. If dem continue dis unbeaten run, e go dey sweet dem. But we sabi sey Palace go come find chances, especially if dem fit incorporate di likes of Eze into di mix.
Dis na match to watch as e go set di tone for di rest of di season! Who go steal di show? Na di players wey fit shine go determine wetin go happen.
