Quotes
"It probably wasn’t our best game on the ball, but to build something special, you need to win games when you’re not at your best," Chelsea captain Reece James said after their win over Brentford.
"We’ve only had a short period with the manager – and some of us have been out and only had a few sessions with him. We’re trying to learn as much as possible in a short period of time, and we’re adapting to the way he wants to play.
"Things take time, and every manager has a different style, a different approach. In this moment during the season, it’s so hard to train because there is a game every two or three days. We just need to prepare the best we can."
Head-to-Head
Palace and Chelsea drew 0-0 in their last meeting in the league, which was in August 2025 at Stamford Bridge.
As a result, the Blues are undefeated in their last 15 Premier League games against Eagles, having registered three draws and 12 victories.
