Our prediction for this Premier League match:
There will be fireworks when Chelsea and Crystal Palace go head to head in the opening match of the season. The Blues did well to sign Romelu Lukaku from Inter in the summer transfer window, and, no doubt, the Belgian “beast” will be the man to watch in the home team. Thomas Tuchel has a full squad to choose from, and, as a result, the bookies see the Champions League winners as hot favourites to pick up all three points from Saturday’s clash.
Since Olivier Giroud left the club, Timo Werner is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts. The Eagles, on the other hand, finished the last season in 14th place in the standings. Patrick Vieira’s troops are eyeing a top-ten finish, but they will have a big fish to fry in the season opener. All Ferguson, Eze, Gallagher, and Olise are likely to miss the game with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Timo Werner):
Timo Werner is a German starlet, who began his senior career at Vfb Stuttgart.

To make things even better for the talented attacker, he represented Germany at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and it has to be noted that he provided an assist for Lars Stindl in the title game.
