Crystal Palace play host to Chelsea at Selhurst Park on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 7 of the 19 previous games, with the Eagles winning just 5.
The last time the two teams met at Crystal Palace was back in September 1997, over five years ago, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Premiership match.
