Crystal Palace vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Selhurst Park
Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face Chelsea in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea
Despite the Blues’ form being deemed poor enough for Thomas Tuchel to be sacked, the side are still a respectable seventh, just three points away from the top four. Potter knows that it’s a results business at the business end of the table though, and will be hoping to hit the ground running, after drawing with Salzburg on his debut in the dugout at Stamford Bridge.
Crystal Palace vs Chelsea
The hosts sit in a precarious 16th place in the table, two points above the drop zone with just six points to their name so far. However, they face a Chelsea side currently in limbo, and playing their first league match under new boss Graham Potter.
