Chelsea bounced back from their opening-weekend defeat by thrashing Wolves at Molineux last time out — but it didn't always look like being such a rout. The sides went in 2-2 at the break, but a second-half hat-trick from Noni Madueke, plus a sixth from the returning João Félix gave Enzo Maresca's side a healthy win. Can they keep the momentum going back on home soil? 

Crystal Palace are yet to score a point this season, losing to both Brentford and West Ham in their opening two fixtures. It goes against all early season predictions for Oliver Glasner's side, who finished last season so strongly that many tipped them to be troubling the top teams this term, but that hasn't been the case so far. Will it be third time lucky against their third London rival in a row?

Here's how the teams line up:

Chelsea XI: Sanchez (GK); Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Enzo, Palmer, Madueke, Neto, Jackson.

Palace XI: Henderson (GK), Clyne, Guéhi, Richards, Muñoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell, Eze, Mateta, Kamada.

Can Chelsea continue their goal-scoring form? Or will Palace find their feet? Tune in to find out, plus make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.

Unfortunately, there will be no Chelsea vs Crystal Palace live stream in the United Kingdom. That's because U.K. broadcasters are blocked from airing Saturday 3 p.m. kick-offs to protect attendances elsewhere in the football pyramid.

U.S. fans visiting the U.K. can use one of the best VPN services to access their usual streaming service from abroad. We recommend NordVPN.

As it stands, live Premier League rights are split three ways in the U.K. between Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video.

For the 24/25 season, Sky Sports is set to show 128 matches live, while TNT Sports will show 52 matches live, including every Saturday lunchtime kick-off. Amazon Prime Video has the rights to 20 matches this season.
