Crystal Palace vs Chelsea
Chelsea began their FA Cup journey with an easy win over Chesterfield in the third round. But they were pushed to the brink by Plymouth Argyle and Luton Town in the fourth and fifth rounds, respectively. Having survived the scare, Thomas Tuchel’s side beat Middlesbrough 2-0 in the quarter-finals. They head into the game on the back of a 3-2 win over Real Madrid, although that was not enough to keep them alive in the UEFA Champions League.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, progressed to the penultimate stage of the FA Cup after seeing off challenges from Millwall, Hartlepool United and Stoke City before thumping Everton 4-0 in the quarter-finals. Patrick Vieira’s side had been on a seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions, including a draw against Manchester City and a win versus Arsenal. But that was halted last weekend by a defeat to Leicester City.
Chelsea have prevailed over Crystal Palace in both their meetings this season, winning 3-0 and 1-0, although the latter match was an evenly-contested affair.
