Following an exciting transfer deadline day, Chelsea is set to return to action on Sunday as they face Crystal Palace in a London derby at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues recently secured Manchester United and England forward Jadon Sancho while parting ways with several players, including Raheem Sterling, before the transfer window closed on Friday. Notably, Trevoh Chalobah has been loaned to Crystal Palace but is unable to play against his parent club due to league regulations. Nevertheless, his addition strengthens the Eagles’ defense, alongside key player Marc Guéhi, who has remained with the team despite interest from Newcastle.
Chelsea is looking to bounce back after suffering two consecutive defeats to London rivals Brentford and West Ham. They will face a challenging match against a Chelsea squad that recently thrived with an impressive 6-2 win over Wolves.
The match against Crystal Palace is scheduled for Sunday, September 1, with kickoff at 1:30 p.m. BST local time. For viewers in the U.S. and Canada, this translates to 8:30 a.m. ET and 7:30 a.m. PT, while it’s set for 10:30 p.m. AEST in Australia.
