斯坦福桥的紧张局势
在这个节日期间，切尔西或水晶宫没有什么值得欢呼的，周三他们在斯坦福桥的比赛是一场棘手的比赛。
两家俱乐部在本赛季的大部分时间里都徘徊在积分榜中游位置，很难为任何一方提供有力的理由。
蓝军不得不在圣诞节前夕与狼队作战，并没有出色地应对最近的比赛拥堵，在12月输给了曼联和埃弗顿，毛里西奥·波切蒂诺仍有工作要做。
在本赛季的英超联赛斯坦福桥，切尔西在九场比赛中取得了三胜三平三负的成绩，而水晶宫在客场也有着相同的输赢平局记录。
不过，最近的结果对老鹰队来说并不是灾难性的，罗伊·霍奇森；在12月，曼城和布莱顿队战平了西汉姆联。
至于切尔西，他们在本赛季的英超联赛中四次不得不分一杯羹，在周二的EFL杯四分之一决赛中，他们还以1-1战平了纽卡斯尔。
上赛季双方的两场比赛都是势均力敌，切尔西在两场比赛中都以一球之差获胜，而这一次，平局可能是最好的选择。
预测首都的目标
尽管可能会出现僵局，但这并不意味着这将是一场缺乏戏剧性的比赛。
在过去的几个月里，切尔西取得了一些成绩，在11月以4-1击败热刺，以4-4战平曼城。
由于两支球队都在水晶宫的六场比赛中进球，进球可能指日可待；在过去的七场比赛中，有两场比赛以1-1结束，这看起来是最明智的正确比分选择。
奥德松尼·爱德华一直是水晶宫’；他本赛季的主要进球威胁，在英超联赛中攻入六球，但他将因伤缺席这场比赛。
马泰塔可以有所作为
在他因伤缺席的情况下，让-菲利普·马泰塔（Jean-Philippe Mateta）是一位挺身而出的球员。
自从从德甲转会到塞尔赫斯特公园以来，马泰塔的日子并不好过，但他最近看起来更犀利了，本月在对阵利物浦和曼城的比赛中都有进球。
他本赛季在联赛中只投了12次球，但他是俱乐部的一员；是继爱德华之后的联赛第二射手，也是在斯坦福桥对阵切尔西时进球的最佳人选。

绘制1-1
Jean-Philippe Mateta随时得分
外文原文如下：
- Three of Crystal Palace’s last five league games have finished as draws
- Chelsea have failed to win six of their nine home games in the Premier League
- Both teams have scored in five of Crystal Palace’s nine away league games
- Jean Philippe-Mateta has scored twice in the league this month
Tight affair expected at Stamford Bridge
There is not much to cheer about for Chelsea or Crystal Palace this festive period and their clash at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday is a tricky one to call.
Both clubs have spent the majority of season lingering around the mid-table positions and it is hard to make a strong case for either side.
The Blues had to battle Wolves on Christmas Eve and have not coped brilliantly with the recent fixture congestion, losing to Manchester United and Everton in December and Mauricio Pochettino still has work to do with the London club.
At Stamford Bridge in the Premier League this term, Chelsea have won three, drawn three and lost three of their nine assignments and Crystal Palace have an identical win-loss-draw record on the road.
Recent results have not been disastrous for the Eagles, though, with Roy Hodgson’s men holding West Ham, Manchester City and Brighton to draws in December.
As for Chelsea, they have had to settle for a share of the spoils on four occasions in the Premier League this term and they were also held to a 1-1 draw with Newcastle in the EFL Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday.
Both meetings between these sides last term were closely fought with Chelsea prevailing by a single goal on both occasions and this time around, the draw could be the best bet.
Anticipate goals in the capital
Although a stalemate could be on the cards, that does not mean this will be a game short of drama.
Chelsea have been involved in some belters the last couple of months, beating Tottenham 4-1 and drawing 4-4 with Manchester City in November.
Goals could be on the cards with both teams having scored in six of Crystal Palace’s last seven matches and two of those games finished 1-1, which looks like the wisest correct score pick.
Odsonne Edouard has been Crystal Palace’s main goal threat this season, having netted six times in the Premier League, but he is set to miss this fixture through injury.
Mateta can make his mark
In his absence through injury, one player who has stepped up to the plate is Jean Philippe-Mateta.
Mateta has not had the easiest time of it since moving to Selhurst Park from the Bundesliga but he has looked sharper recently, scoring against both Liverpool and Manchester City this month.
He has managed just 12 shots in the league this season but he is the club’s second joint-top scorer in the league after Edouard and is as good a bet as any to score against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Predictions:Draw
Draw 1-1
Jean Philippe Mateta To Score Anytime
