Chelsea bounced back from their opening-weekend defeat by thrashing Wolves at Molineux last time out — but it didn't always look like being such a rout. The sides went in 2-2 at the break, but a second-half hat-trick from Noni Madueke, plus a sixth from the returning João Félix gave Enzo Maresca's side a healthy win. Can they keep the momentum going back on home soil?
Crystal Palace are yet to score a point this season, losing to both Brentford and West Ham in their opening two fixtures. It goes against all early season predictions for Oliver Glasner's side, who finished last season so strongly that many tipped them to be troubling the top teams this term, but that hasn't been the case so far. Will it be third time lucky against their third London rival in a row?
Here's how the teams line up:
Chelsea XI: Sanchez (GK); Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Enzo, Palmer, Madueke, Neto, Jackson.
Palace XI: Henderson (GK), Clyne, Guéhi, Richards, Muñoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell, Eze, Mateta, Kamada.
Can Chelsea continue their goal-scoring form? Or will Palace find their feet? Tune in to find out, plus make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.
Watch Chelsea vs Crystal Palace from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the soccer on your usual subscription?
You can still watch Chelsea vs Crystal Palace live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are, making it ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:
There's a good reason you've heard of NordVPN. We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. With over 6,000 servers, across 110+ countries, and at a great price too, it's easy to recommend.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're away from the U.S. and want to view your usual U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to a service listed below that's showing Chelsea vs Crystal Palace and watch the game.
Watch Chelsea vs Crystal Palace in the U.S.
Soccer fans in the U.S. can watch the Chelsea vs Crystal Palace live stream on Peacock, NBC's streaming service. To tune in, you'll need to be signed up for either a Premium subscription ($7.99/month) or Premium Plus ($13.99/month), which also gets rid of some ads.
If you're outside of the U.S. but have one of these subscriptions, you can watch the Chelsea vs Crystal Palace live stream by using a VPN such as NordVPN.
Can you watch Chelsea vs Crystal Palace in the U.K.?
Unfortunately, there will be no Chelsea vs Crystal Palace live stream in the United Kingdom. That's because U.K. broadcasters are blocked from airing Saturday 3 p.m. kick-offs to protect attendances elsewhere in the football pyramid.
U.S. fans visiting the U.K. can use one of the best VPN services to access their usual streaming service from abroad. We recommend NordVPN.
As it stands, live Premier League rights are split three ways in the U.K. between Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video.
For the 24/25 season, Sky Sports is set to show 128 matches live, while TNT Sports will show 52 matches live, including every Saturday lunchtime kick-off. Amazon Prime Video has the rights to 20 matches this season.
