Chelsea have a strong history at home against Crystal Palace, and I expect them to continue on that path in this third leg. The season started with a loss to last year's Premier League champions Manchester City, but Chelsea quickly bounced back with an impressive 6-2 win away to Wolves. New manager Maresca is attacking attacking-minded coach so this will be a very open match so another goal galore should come. On the other hand, Crystal Palace has had a difficult start to the season with two straight losses. First, a 2-1 defeat away to Brentford, followed by a 0-2 defeat at home to West Ham in another London derby. The team has not looked like themselves and has also lost some important players ahead of the season. Olise and Andersen are most notable departures and without them we see this team is not the same as they were influential players in last season. It remains to be seen how Crystal Palace perform under manager Oliver Glasner, who took over late last season. The question is how long he gets to keep the job if the results continue to fail. I strongly believe in Chelsea in this game and expect them to avoid major mistakes at home. The loss against City was not entirely unexpected given City's strength, but Chelsea still showed positive tendencies in that game. The offence unleashed against the Wolves with six goals, shows that Chelsea has the potential to deliver big.

切尔西在主场对阵水晶宫的比赛中有着强大的历史，我希望他们能在第三回合继续保持这种势头。本赛季开始时，切尔西输给了去年的英超冠军曼城，但很快就以6-2大胜狼队。新教练马雷斯卡是一名具有进攻意识的教练，所以这将是一场非常开放的比赛，所以会有更多的进球。另一方面，水晶宫本赛季开局艰难，两连败。先是在客场1 -2不敌布伦特福德，接着又在主场0-2不敌西汉姆，又是一场伦敦德比。这支球队看起来不像他们自己，而且在赛季开始前也失去了一些重要的球员。奥利斯和安德森是最引人注目的离开，没有他们，我们看到这支球队不像上赛季一样有影响力的球员。水晶宫在上赛季末上任的主帅奥利弗·格拉斯纳的带领下表现如何还有待观察。问题是，如果结果继续失败，他还能留任多久。我对切尔西在这场比赛中充满信心，希望他们在主场避免犯重大错误。考虑到曼城的实力，输给曼城并不完全出乎意料，但切尔西在那场比赛中仍然表现出积极的趋势。在对阵狼队的比赛中，切尔西用6个进球释放了进攻，这表明切尔西有潜力取得更大的成绩。
