Crystal Palace vs Chelsea live stream featuring both teams in desperate need of a win and their manager under increasing pressure can be watched live from anywhere with a VPN.

The Blues will be buoyed by their impressive midweek FA Cup victory. They dominated Aston Villa and showed what they are capable of when everything works right. Unfortunately for boss Mauricio Pochettino, however, things have not gone so well this season. As they showed last weekend against Wolves (2-4), a disciplined, low-positioned, blocking Crystal Palace is exactly the type of setup that Pochettino's players are not very good at.

Eagles manager Roy Hodgson is also under a lot of pressure, with his team playing poorly and failing to produce, including last weekend's 1-4 loss to rival Brighton. The team is ominously close to the relegation zone and will likely be without star forward Michael Ollese for the foreseeable future after he suffered what the manager called a "serious" injury.

Mateusz França and Jorda Ayew are the attacking options called up by coach Hodgson. Thiago Silva is back for the Blues.

There is no doubt that Chelsea has the talent to beat an underpowered Palace. The injury to Ollies should be a decisive factor in the Blues' return to West London with three points in hand.

Here is the lineup:

Crystal Palace Henderson, Munoz, Andersen, Richards, Mitchell, Lerma, Hughes, Wharton, Franca, Ayew, Mateta

Chelsea Petrovic, Gast, Disaci, Silva, Chilwell, Fernandez, Caicedo, Gallagher, Palmer, Madueke, Jackson
