After a busy transfer deadline day, Chelsea returns to action on Sunday as they face Crystal Palace in a London derby at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have welcomed Manchester United and England star Jadon Sancho to their squad, while several players, including Raheem Sterling, have left Stamford Bridge as the transfer window closed on Friday.
Trevoh Chalobah is among those who departed, having loaned to Crystal Palace. Due to league regulations, the 25-year-old cannot play against his parent club, but his presence strengthens the Eagles’ defense, which has retained key player Marc Guéhi amid interest from Newcastle.
Chelsea enters this match looking to reverse a trend of two consecutive defeats against London rivals, following losses to Brentford and West Ham. Their opponents this week, Chelsea, are coming off a dominant 6-2 victory over Wolves.
The match between Chelsea and Crystal Palace will take place on Sunday, September 1, at Stamford Bridge, with kickoff scheduled for 1:30 p.m. BST local time, which is 8:30 a.m. ET or 7:30 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 10:30 p.m. AEST in Australia.
For viewers in the US, the game will be available for streaming on Peacock, which is the top option for soccer fans looking to watch the Premier League this season. A Peacock Premium or Premium Plus account is required to view the game live.
