[Music] hello it's a real pleasure to be with you from West London from Stamford Bridge I'm Derek Ray and I'm joined for expert analysis by Stuart Robson and it's all about action from the Premier League in this case it's Chelsea up against Crystal Palace well Derek when looking forward to this game you can't help but notice there are some great matchups all over the pitch particularly in those Central areas whichever team wins more of real chance oh not to be an opportunity wasted early in the game well maybe it's come a little bit too early Derek but that's a wasteful finish and here's how it looks for Chelsea Kea stands between the posts Thiago Silva plays alongside khu kibali in central defense Mato kovic starts alongside Dennis Zacharia in the what chance this is Derek oh he really bruised the crossbar and in the end no damage done well they won't come closer than that so unlucky not to take the lead there and very defly cut out always difficult to predict in advance who might decide a game but you could make a strong case for this man I think Stuart what are you expecting to see from him well for me Derek his greatest attribute is his ability to combine with teammates particularly en Stuart they've got to score can they stop it going in and a time for Cal on the ball well that could prove to be a massive moment in the game just when it looked as though Chelsea would take the lead the goalkeeper has produced a wonderful save there well now they've got to concentrate on keeping the door locked oh magnificent reaction Kai havitz and they know they need to stop him well it lead to the goal that puts them ahead I just missed that little bit of attacking spark goalkeeper [Applause] ball well doesn't have to do it on his own well couldn't bend his run and the flag went up [Applause] given away by Chelsea oddson eduar will he finish well straight at the goalkeeper then well as the stats confirm Chelsea controlled the ball but they haven't done enough with it particularly in the Midfield areas where their passing has been far too safe and that needs to change quickly if they're to win this one must take the lead here oh he's been denied and they remain locked together well that's a good save but really he should have scored from there that's a big [Applause] chance into the advanced position Mount the terman defending and we will have just one additional minute it should be that is a tackle and a [Applause] half and so the first half draws to a [Applause] [Music] close so the beginning of the second half here in West London Now options are plenty Mount preferring to go infield the end product just wasn't there Kai havit such an important goalkeeping intervention Under Pressure well not great from the keeper and he couldn't quite get himself back on side Stewart well as a player you need to be able to change your mind but he wasn't able to and that's a poor pass odson eduar useful looking ball and the Keeper's hand does the trick quite the catalog of great saves and that the latest [Applause] one and room now out on the wing element of risk there but he's won the [Applause] ball oddson eduar now can they counter clinically but they took care of the situation defensively now that attack going up a dead end and the keeper has the ball out of play then and a palace throw in forthcoming off the pitch number n they've decided that now is the time to go to the bench number he read it well defensively this is a message for supporters time can youe where you are and Willet you outside of the thank you that creative look about this but nothing comes of it good defending it was now we're inside the final 15 minutes and good use of Advantage the referee allowing play to [Applause] continue scho well he read that brilliantly at the [Applause] back hav dangerous looking through Ball but it looked as though he might be on to something but his time timing left a bit to be desired yeah that's frustrating cuz he's just been too impatient there he doesn't need to make his movement quite so early they will now make use of their substitutes bench 5 minutes remaining and level pegging here can they Forge ahead no and all because of the goalkeeper margins margins well he has done well there but he should have won the game they probably won't get another chance now over it comes H really important piece of last ditch [Applause] defending havet the referee has decided that two additional minutes are in order well forward they go again can they win this magnificent defending and there's the whistle all even at the end of 90 minutes here
