Preview

Match preview

Crystal Palace welcome Chelsea to south London in a Women's Super League encounter that highlights a stark gulf in early season form. Palace sit eleventh in the standings with just one win from their opening six league fixtures, having already conceded twelve goals. Their form at home has been particularly fragile, managing only a single goal while shipping eight across three matches.

Chelsea enter this fixture unbeaten and occupying second place, having collected sixteen points from a possible eighteen with a plus-fifteen goal difference. The visitors have demonstrated ruthlessness on the road, winning both away matches by an aggregate scoreline of eight goals to nil, while keeping four clean sheets in six league outings overall.

Historical head-to-head meetings paint an equally dominant picture for Chelsea, who have won all five previous encounters between the clubs across league and cup competitions without conceding a single goal, including a seven-nil victory in their last visit to Palace.
