Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Tickets

There's nothing like a Premier League London rivalry and Crystal Palace vs. Chelsea at Selhurst Park is one that will always live up to the occasion as it brings a lot of action and entertainment to the field when the two sides meet. With both sides looking to achieve different things as a whole, neither side wants to be on the receiving end of a defeat to their capital neighbours, which appears to see the ante get upped in this particular contest.

Crystal Palace are also known as the Eagles. Having established and solidified their place in the Premier League, the Londoners have continued to strive to improve on their previous position with each season that passes, whilst also looking to remain away from the relegation zone - an area of the table they appear to spend time in on occasions.

The Blues, as Chelsea are known by their supporters and around the rest of the world, have become one of the most decorated clubs in English football in recent decades, having raised at least five Premier League titles, as well as having great success in European football. This success has helped turn them into a worldwide brand and has given them a reputation as being one of the biggest football clubs in the global game.

Crystal Palace play their home games at Selhurst Park, which is a stadium that has the capacity to house 25,486 fans, and the hosts have some of the most passionate games of the game in English. Those supporters, known as the "Ultras," can help build the atmosphere in South London into one that is truly amazing, especially when it is a London derby between two sides determined to take all three points.

Previous encounters in south London have produced some classic moments for both sides, with Crystal Palace having managed to record impressive 2-1 and 1-0 wins in 2017 and 2014 respectively. The Blues, though, do not appear to mind making the trip across the city from the south-west to the south-east, with Chelsea having managed to record 0-1, 1-2 and 0-3 victories in some of the most recent clashes between the two sides.

There have been a number of stars to play for both sides in past meetings and it is likely that a number of stars will continue to be on the Selhurst Park pitch for encounters in the future as well. Men such as Eden Hazard, Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Wilfried Zaha, Andros Townsend and Jordan Ayew have all featured and have each played prominent roles in previous fixtures.

Historically, Crystal Palace vs Chelsea looks to be a fixture that will always promise those that do attend Selhurst Park that they will be able to see an enthralling encounter between two London rivals, whilst there is some precedent that there will be a number of goals involved as well for good measure, which can only help to add to the atmosphere that the ground produces.
