Events

Match Events

0' The ball is rolling at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace FC are looking to make home advantage count against Chelsea FC.
5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Oliver Glasner might look to freshen things up shortly.
10' Pedro Neto is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Chelsea FC so far.
14' Cole Palmer has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 14 minutes.
19' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
24' Daniel Munoz has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
29' Eberechi Eze, a England , has 16 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
34' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
39' Chelsea FC is showing some good football. However, Chelsea FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
44' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
49' Both keepers have barely been tested. Crystal Palace FC and Chelsea FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
54' The 25-year-old Enzo Fernandez has been sensational this season — 4 goals and 3 assists is a remarkable return.
59' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jadon Sancho suffering a number of foals already.
64' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
65' Controversy at the stadium! Levi Colwill argues furiously but the card stands.
69' A change in the Crystal Palace FC ranks — Cheick Doucoure exits the field as Daichi Kamada enters on 69.
74' Dean Henderson has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
79' Tyrick Mitchell is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Chelsea FC tonight.
