Is Crystal Palace vs Chelsea on TV today? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

Crystal Palace take on Chelsea in the Premier League this afternoon as Thomas Tuchel’s travelling team push on in their pursuit of a top-four spot.

The German coach will have been pleased with his side’s 2-0 midweek success against Porto in the first leg of their Champions League last-eight clash, a perfect reaction to their first loss since Tuchel’s arrival at Stamford Bridge – a crushing 5-2 defeat by West Brom last time out.

Mid-table Palace, meanwhile, have one win, one loss and three draws in their last five games, with a 1-1 draw against Everton in their most recent outing.
