Chelsea vs Crystal Palace LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

A second-half equaliser by Eberechi Eze gave Crystal Palace their first point of the Premier League season as they secured a 1-1 draw away to Chelsea on Sunday, bouncing back from a poor start to grab a share of the spoils after a much-improved second half.

The home side broke the deadlock in the 25th minute after Palace defender Marc Guehi made an ill-advised raid forward and lost the ball. The Blues countered quickly, with Nicolas Jackson scoring from close range from a pass by Cole Palmer.

Outplayed for most of the opening 45 minutes, Palace eventually turned their fortunes around after the break and Eze equalised in the 53rd minute, picking up the rebound from Cheick Doucoure's blocked shot and curling the ball beautifully into the net from outside the box.

Both sides had chances to grab a winner in the second half with Levi Colwill going close for Chelsea and Palace's Daichi Kamada forcing a fine save, but despite just over eight minutes of stoppage time neither side could find another goal and the game ended in a stalemate.

Maresca and Glasner address Hughes red card call as Chelsea draw with Palace

17:06 , Jonathan Gorrie

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has called for VAR to be used for potential second yellow card offences, after Will Hughes narrowly escaped a sending off during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.

Hughes was already on a booking when he brought down Cole Palmer on the edge of the box minutes after half-time and Palace boss Oliver Glasner later admitted he made “a very big mistake” by not taking the midfielder off at half-time.

Chelsea partnership building as Crystal Palace tinker to claim draw

15:56 , Jonathan Gorrie

After the chaos of the 6-2 thumping of Wolves last weekend, and an undue scare in midweek at Swiss side Servette, here for 45 minutes came some uncharacteristic Chelsea calm.

Enzo Maresca’s side dominated the first period of this London derby, easily value for the 1-0 lead at the interval handed to them by Nicolas Jackson, who made it two goals in as many league matches in the same week the club’s late-window search for a new centre-forward failed.

After the break, though, that control was lost, and in a more open contest Eberechi Eze’s delightful curler earned Crystal Palace a timely first point of the season heading into the international break, with Jackson guilty of missing two chances to win it in stoppage time.

Here’s what we learned…

Chelsea ratings: Palmer brilliant as Fernandez makes Blues tick

15:39 , Jonathan Gorrie

Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw in Sunday’s London derby against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, after Eberechi Eze’s second-half curler canceled out Nicolas Jackson’s strike.

Jackson’s second goal in as many Premier League matches had given the Blues a deserved lead at the end of a terrific counter-attack led by Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer.

However, Palace were much improved after the interval and Eze’s goal sees them claim a first Premier League point of the season.

Here’s how Enzo Maresca’s side rated at Stamford Bridge...

Fair enough, I promised a tally and fair play to Mr Gillett. Nicolas Jackson boots it into the Palace goal long after the whistle has blown for a free-kick the other way and is booked.

Palace have got their tails up now and Chelsea, having looked so solid in the first half, are suddenly a bit stretched.

Newcastle lead Tottenham 1-0 at half-time thanks to a great goal from Harvey Barnes.

14:24 , Jonathan Gorrie

HT: 1-0. Chelsea the better side and deservedly ahead. That relationship between Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke is flourishing at the moment. Palace have had one or two dangerous moments but have not managed to get Eberechi Eze in the game at all and perhaps his frustration telling there in a free-kick effort from 40 yards.

HT: Chelsea 1-0 Crystal Palace

14:20 , Jonathan Gorrie

A pretty good half for Chelsea, with Nicolas Jackson’s goal the difference so far.

41 mins: Jackson does well to get some kind of header on Neto’s cross but it’s easily saved.

Malik Ouzia at Stamford Bridge

14:10 , Jonathan Gorrie

Oliver Glasner is absolutely livid at the lack of pace in Palace's counter-attacks. In fairness to Eberechi Eze, though, he looked up there and saw six Chelsea shirts back against three from Palace and thought keeping the ball was the smart play.

Chelsea 1-0 Crystal Palace

14:07 , Jonathan Gorrie

34 mins: Chelsea do not fully convince defensively but some really good stuff going forward.

Malik Ouzia at Stamford Bridge

14:00 , Jonathan Gorrie

It's a brilliant Chelsea counter-attack, perfectly executed by Palmer and Madueke, and Jackson couldn't miss. But a really poor five minutes for Marc Guehi, who went unpunished by Madueke a few moments ago but not this time after galloping up the pitch and leaving a massive hole.

GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Crystal Palace | Nicolas Jackson '25

13:57 , Jonathan Gorrie

25 mins: GOAL!

Searing Chelsea counter-attack. Colwill wins the ball just outside his box and finds Madueke, who then frees Palmer.

Palmer plays the ball across to Jackson, who has the easiest of tap-ins.

Malik Ouzia at Stamford Bridge

13:56 , Jonathan Gorrie

Well, Noni Madueke did plenty wrong with that first chance but I'm not sure he could've done a great deal more with the second. It's a wonderful save from Dean Henderson.

Chelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace

22 mins: ANOTHER HUGE CHANCE!

Enzo Fernandez drops one behind Tyrick Mitchell and Madueke is there to meet it but Dean Henderson pulls off a big save!

Madueke, who could not miss last week, bursts into the box after good hold up play from Jackson but fires just wide with just the ‘keeper to beat!

Malik Ouzia at Stamford Bridge

13:49 , Jonathan Gorrie

A shaky start from Marc Cucurella here. He miscontrolled Sanchez's pass to give Palace a cheap throw high up the pitch a few minutes ago and then lost out incredibly easily to Muniz in the air in the move that led to Wharton's chance. Palace just starting to grow into this.

It's taken Jarred Gillett nine minutes to make himself an enemy in the eyes of both teams here. Very quick on the whistle, and even quicker on the card for Pedro Neto a few moments ago.

Chelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace

04 mins: Chelsea seeing most of the ball but are not creating too much. Wharton is not allowing Palmer any space in the 10 position at all.

All the presentations. Jadon Sancho is out of the tunnel in his new Chelsea shirt for a wave to the stands and to cop a bit of flak from the Palace end. He of course wasn't registered in time to feature today.

Cole Palmer is out here being presented with his PFA Young Player of the Year award ahead of kick-off. It's a year to the day since he signed for Chelsea - not been a bad 12 months, has it?

Antonio Conte confirms brutal stance on Chelsea target Victor Osimhen with Saudi Arabia move in doubt

11:47 , Jonathan Gorrie

Napoli director Giovanni Manna believes Victor Osimhen will not join a club in Saudi Arabia.

The Nigeria international was desperate to leave the club over the course of the summer and handed in a transfer request.

Chelsea had held a long-term interest in the forward and pushed to sign him during the closing stages of the transfer window, having sold Romelu Lukaku to the Italian giants.

Why isn't Chelsea vs Crystal Palace live on TV in UK today?

11:35 , Jonathan Gorrie

Chelsea today host Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

The Blues recovered from a tepid start to the League season last time, thrashing Wolves 6-2 thanks to a Noni Madueke hat-trick.

Consistency, however, was an issue for the team under Mauricio Pochettino last season and Palace are likely to offer a stern test.

Oliver Glasner’s side may have lost their opening two games but have arguably been unlucky. They did beat Norwich in the Carabao Cup, however, to kickstart their season.

Fans in the UK, however, will not be able to watch the game.

The game has not been selected for broadcast, given it was originally scheduled for 3pm BST on Saturday 31st August, 2024 – which comes during the blackout imposed English football.

Chelsea’s participation in the Europa Conference League play-off on Thursday night then pushed Palace game back to Sunday, but it still cannot be shown live.

Crystal Palace complete late loan move for Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah in hectic summer finale

11:22 , Jonathan Gorrie

Crystal Palace have signed Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah to complete a busy Deadline Day at Selhurst Park.

The Eagles secured a loan move for Chalobah - which does not contain the option for a permanent transfer - as they also wrapped up deals for Maxence Lacroix for £17million, Eddie Nketiah for £30m and goalkeeper Matt Turner on loan.

Why Jadon Sancho will not make Chelsea debut today against Crystal Palace

11:05 , Jonathan Gorrie

There will be no Chelsea debut for Jadon Sancho today.

A summer transfer window Deadline Day produced more drama than we have seen in quite some time as the Blues shipping out Raheem Sterling to Arsenal on loan, and brought in Sancho on a loan-to-buy deal which will be made permanent next summer for around £25million.

Both teams were worked on late into the evening and even beyond the 11pm deadline, requiring deal sheets to be completed. Sterling’s exit was confirmed around 2am on Friday night, into Saturday morning, and Sancho’s arrival was not confirmed until 7.30pm on Saturday evening.

To be ineligible to face Crystal Palace today, Sancho had to be registered as a Chelsea player by 12pm midday on Friday, which was clearly impossible.

Crystal Palace team news vs Chelsea today

11:01 , Jonathan Gorrie

Palace, meanwhile, are facing something of a short-term injury crisis at the back. New signing Chadi Riad was forced off against Norwich, leaving only Chris Richards, Marc Guehi and Rob Holding as recognised central defenders.

Guehi remains at the club after Newcastle’s failed transfer pursuit, but new defensive arrivals Trevoh Chalobah and Maxence Lacroix are not available to play just yet - ditto fellow deadline day arrivals Eddie Nketiah and Matt Turner. Matheus Franca is still out injured.

Chelsea team news vs Crystal Palace today

11:01 , Jonathan Gorrie

Chelsea are again without both Reece James and Romeo Lavia for today’s Premier League London derby against Crystal Palace, but have no new injury concerns.

Blues captain James has yet to play this term after suffering a fresh hamstring issue during pre-season and manager Enzo Maresca said before Thursday night’s shock 2-1 defeat by Servette in the second leg of their Conference League play-off tie - for which he was initially registered in the squad - that he was not expected back until after the upcoming international break.

It is the same case for Romeo Lavia, who has been plagued by injury issues since joining Chelsea in a £58million deal with Southampton last summer and making just one appearance in total during his debut campaign.

The Belgian midfielder impressed in pre-season and started on the opening day of the Premier League term against Manchester City before coming on as a late substitute in the first-leg win over Servette, but is now sidelined again with his own hamstring problem.

Moises Caicedo has been carrying a knock of late but came on as a substitute in Switzerland on Thursday after starting in the 6-2 thrashing of Wolves last weekend, while new signing Joao Felix will return to the squad having scored on his second Chelsea debut at Molineux before being ineligible again to face Servette.

Jadon Sancho will obviously not have been registered in time to face Palace after joining from Manchester United initially on loan late beyond Friday’s transfer deadline with the help of a deal sheet, with the trip to Bournemouth on September 14 likely to be his first game instead.

Neither Malo Gusto nor Pedro Neto were involved against Servette, but neither are thought to be injured, while it is tough to imagine Maresca wanting to make too many changes to a team who put six goals past Wolves to kick-start his reign - especially given the disappointing display in Servette that made qualifying for the Conference League proper more nervy than it should have been.

The only change is likely to come in attack, with Mykhailo Mudryk replaced after 45 minutes against Wolves and Maresca admitting afterwards that he was not happy with the Ukrainian’s performance as he demanded more quality.

Neto replaced Mudryk - who started again on Thursday - against his former club, getting a late assist for Felix, and could do so from the start against Palace if he’s fully fit, though Felix is also an option as well as Christopher Nkunku, who stated his starting case by netting in both legs against Servette.

Robert Sanchez should return in goal at the expense of Filip Jorgensen, with Gusto - if fully fit himself - returning in defence along with Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill and Marc Cucurella, with Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile and Renato Veiga dropping back out.

Caicedo is expected to come back in for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, while Enzo Fernandez - serving as Chelsea captain with James out - also started against Servette.

Nkunku, Mudryk and Marc Guiu should all make way in attack, with main man Cole Palmer returning alongside Noni Madueke after the duo tore Wolves apart with three assists and goals respectively, leading to a maiden senior England call-up for the latter.
