Having equalled our record number of consecutive victories in a single season,Conte's men chase history at Selhurst park, home to our London neighbors Crystal Palace.Conte and his boys could go down in history as the first Chelsea side to win 11 consecutive games in a single season by securing all three points on offer during Saturday's lunch time clash.

Conte suggested after the midweek victory at Sunderland he was more focused on keeping the winning run going while urging his attackers to be more clinical in front of goal having won the last two games by a single goal scoreline but failing to put the game to bed before the closing stages.

Alan Pardew watched on as his boys were narrowly defeated by a late goal from Ibrahimovic in their midweek fixture leaving his side only three points above the drop zone heading into this one.

Though the Eagles narrowly edged the Blues 2:1 in the reverse fixture last season,we scored three on our last visit to Saturday's venue with Costa, Oscar and Willian amongst the goals.

Crystal Palace Vs Chelsea Head To Head

This is the 49th meeting of both sides with the Blues winning 23 times. Palace has won 10 times while there have been 15 stalemates.
