The game will be televised on the USA Network this Saturday.

Former FC Barcelona underused forward Pedro starred in his first game for José Mourinho, who opened the scoring right at the 20th-minute, as per ESPN.

Thursday’s press conference was all about the upcoming Crystal Palace fixture and the boss Guy Luzon had no idea what this game meant to everyone, but now he does and as we as fans all know it’s a crucial game.

Defender Scott Dann and midfielder Bakary Sako provided the goals for the Eagles as they won their second contest in the season out of three tries, via NBC Sports’ Pro Soccer Talk.

The DR Congo winger missed the 2-1 win over Aston Villa last Saturday as he returned home following the death of his father. But, it’s going to be tough. A mildly higher defensive line appears to have thrown the quartet into chaos: Gary Cahill toyed with by Sergio Aguero, John Terry incapable of defending on the turn, and Branislav Ivanovic already destroyed by Jefferson Montero, Raheem Sterling and Callum McManaman. Oscar will be inactive due to injury, but Pedro should get his second start after making an impression with the club. Glenn Murray could retain his attacker role, with Connor Wickham struggling due to a rib injury, but Patrick Bamford will be ineligible to play.

Yannick Bolasie will play for Crystal Palace against Chelsea on Saturday.

No team has won more points than Crystal Palace away from home in the Premier League in 2015 (22 – level with Chelsea and Arsenal).

The last time he faced Charlton in the Championship, Bamford scored the opener in a 3-1 win for Boro so he will be hoping for another crack at the Red Robins. The three defeats and one victory in that run came at Stamford Bridge. The year that happened was in 1982. Meanwhile, Palace will have confidence after their recent form in the Premier League and have a chance to pull an upset this weekend.

Defenders will be stronger and quicker and more intelligent in terms of how they read his play and get into positions where they can stop him.
