Chelsea analysis
The home team debuts in this edition after finishing last season in 4th place. Curiously, this is a team that presents more positive results away than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 9 conceded, against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 home defeats, with 19 goals scored and 11 conceded. The team comes for this match after a home draw against Tottenham Hotspur, by (2‑2). Chelsea have won 4, drawn 2 and lost 4 of their last 10 home matches for all competitions. The team has conceded goals to its opponent in 8 of the last 10 matches, so their defense needs to improve, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have managed to score in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have turned the score around in 2 of the 5 matches in which they have conceded the first goal.
The team led by coach Thomas Tuchel enters this first round of the Premier League after a 2×2 draw in a friendly against Tottenham. The “Blues” usually act in a tactical system in 5-2-3, favoring quick transitions, mainly through the wings, and the three most advanced men should be Mason Mount, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz. However, the home team can also play soccer in possession, advancing on the ground through short passes. Apparently, the home coach will not be able to count on Charly Musonda Jr. and Kenedy as they are in the medical department.
Crystal Palace Analysis
The visiting team debuts in this edition of the competition after having finished last season in 14th place. This is a team that usually gets better results away than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with a total of 15 goals scored and 22 conceded.

In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around 1 time.
Crystal Palace enters this match motivated after a victory, by 3-1, in a friendly against Watford: Zaha and Benteke scored the goals of this triumph. The visiting team usually works in a 4-3-3 tactical system, giving more importance to a supported and consistent playing style. In this cartoon, the three men responsible for causing panic in the opposing defense are Jordan Ayew, Christian Benteke and Wilfried Zaha. One of the main qualities of the “Eagles” is the way their players manage to steal possession of the ball from the “enemy”. Coach Patrick Vieira should not be able to count on Eberechi Eze, James McArthur and Nathan Ferguson as they are still handed over to the team’s doctors.
