Chelsea:
Noni Madueke: The speedy winger who can outrun a cheetah on roller skates.
Enzo Fernández: The midfield dynamo who can pass the ball with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker.
Crystal Palace:
Eberechi Eze: The talismanic forward who can dribble past defenders like they’re standing still.
Adam Wharton: The creative spark who can lights up the pitch so well he’s at risk of setting fire to his own hair.

Prediction

This match is likely to be a tightly contested affair, akin to a game of chess played by two caffeinated grandmasters. Chelsea’s recent form and home advantage give them the edge, but don’t count out Crystal Palace’s ability to surprise. We’re predicting a narrow victory for the Blues, with plenty of action and possibly a few dramatic dives.
