Chelsea return to Premier League action and come back as Club World Cup champions when they arrive at Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace this weekend.
The Blues are the favourites at 13/20 with Grosvenor Sport while Palace are 23/5 and a draw is 14/5.
Thomas Tuchel's hopes of a Premier League title are very much dwindling as they find themselves 16 points behind league leaders Manchester City so the focus will be on securing top four.
A win against Tottenham Hotspur put the Blues back to winning ways and will look to maintain their six-point cushion on 5th-place West Ham United for the foreseeable future.
Palace, meanwhile, will be looking to improve on their form, and are without star loanee Conor Gallagher, as the Eagles search for their first win since December.
