      Palace miss chance to upset The Blues
      Crystal Palace will have not expected to control the game at Stamford Bridge for such large periods as they did.
      Roy Hodgson will be frustrated that during those phases of play they could not get the goal he will have felt they deserved.
      Eventually, they were downed by a sucker punch as Chelsea were awarded a late penalty and leave West London with nothing to show for their performance.

      The performance was not inspiring by any stretch of the imagination but this was a crucial three points for The Blues.
      It moves them up into the top half of the table, still with a lot of ground to make up on the top six.
      The Chelsea fans leave Stamford Bridge a little happier, courtesy of a Christmas gift from Eze as his foul led to the awarding of the penalty.
      Gusto blows away Palace charge
      Malo Gusto got forward to offer options when ever Chelsea came forward.
      With Raheem Sterling suspended his energy is getting up and down the line caused the visitors problems.
      He was integral in the first goal and managed to keep Ayew quiet for most of the game.
      Man of the match performance from the young French full back.

      FT: Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace
      Chelsea celebrate showing how much these three points mean to the home side.
      It papers over the cracks for Mauricio Pochettino, they were far from convincing in this game.
      Nevertheless is relieves some of the pressure on the Chelsea manager.

      FT: Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace
      The referee brings the game to a close.
      Chelsea take the three points but it was by no means a good performance from The Blues.
      A rash challenge from Eberechi Eze gifted the hosts a penalty to win the game.

      90+8. Madueke breaks for Chelsea and slots Jackson in.
      He looks to hold the ball up, running the clock down, but the flag goes up for offside.

      90+2. We are going to have eight additional minutes added.
      Plenty of time for the visitors to try and find a goal.
      Roy Hodgson will feel his side have done enough in this game to come away from Stamford Bridge with at least a point.
      Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace
      90. Madueke sends Henderson the wrong way and calming strokes the ball into the back of the net.
      Crystal Palace have no arguments the challenge by Eze on Madueke was a definite penalty.

      86. Broja is found in the box again, he tries to take it past Andersen but the defender does well.
      Palace counter attack and have numbers but Olise loses the ball in the penalty area.
      Madueke is still down in the Palace penalty area, VAR will check to see whether Chelsea should have a penalty.
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      84. Silva goes long again with a pass from defence.
      He picks out Broja perfectly who controls the ball and gets a shot away.
      It nestles into the side netting.
      He really should be working the keeper from there at the very least.
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      82. Silva makes a mistake and Palace break with Schlupp.
      He finds Olise in the shot, whose shot is blocked but he gets another chance but Petrovic makes the save.
      Crystal Palace are trying to find a second goal late on in this game.
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      80. Well that celebration by Jackson was short-lived.
      Looking at the replay it was a fairly easy decision to make, you wonder why VAR takes so long to make their decision.
      On the balance of play, Crystal Palace do not deserve to be behind in this game.

      Goal disallowed – Offside
      Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace
      78. Thiago Silva lifts a cross into the box and Jackson slots home with a first time shot.
      VAR is reviewing it, he may have been offside as the ball was played in.
      This could be a huge decision as Stockley Park draw the lines.
      Goal – Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea)
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      74. Madueke breaks with pace and is fouled by Richards.
      The referee has no choice but to produce a card but pulls the red one out of his pocket by mistake.
      Gallagher plays Jackson through on goal, he has to score you think but the striker lifts it wide of the goal.
      Huge chance wasted.
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      72. Broja goes down under the challenge of Guehi.
      He needs to show more strength in the challenge, this Palace defence are physical and are happy to get stuck in.
      Am not sure Henderson has touched the ball for Palace in this half.
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      70. If Pochettino’s vision is to create a side with no penetration or creative threat in the final third, things are going according to plan.
      You feel that Roy Hodgson’s side need to get a goal to capitalise on how poor the hosts have been in this second half.
      Mudryk is down on the far side as he went down under the challenge of Clyne.
      Nkunku and Mudryk come off for Broja and Madueke.
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      68. Lavia picks the ball up in his own half and tries to play a direct pass forward.
      Only he knows who he was trying to pass that to but it runs out of play for a Crystal Palace throw in.
      Ayew twists and turns in the Chelsea box and gets a cross in but it is hacked clear by Lavia.
      Credit: Reuters
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      66. Olise picks the ball up on the edge of his own box and skips past Lavia with ease.
      He fouls the Palace man to stop him in his tracks.
      Chelsea should have asked for some creativity for Christmas.
      Chelsea 1-1 Crystal Palace
      64. With Caicedo and Lavia in the middle of the park, Chelsea have £170m worth of talent.
      They do not look any more solid for it though.
      Chelsea start to knock the ball around but just cannot find that killer pass and Palace clear with ease all too often. More

      Nottingham Forest star takes swipe at Amazon Prime as they get his nationality wrong in Newcastle clash

      by

      NECO WILLIAMS has taken a swipe at Amazon Prime after they messed up by calling the Nottingham Forest defender “English”.The Wales full-back, 22, came on for the final 20 minutes of Forest’s 3-1 Boxing Day win at Newcastle.

      Williams was waiting on the St James’ Park touchline with team-mate Ryan Yates as new City Ground boss Nuno Espirito Santo made the double change. 
      But match broadcasters Prime made the gaffe when they showed an English flag next to Williams’ name as he replaced Argentina World Cup winner Gonzalo Montiel.
      Williams posted on social media platform X: “Merry Christmas. Three points. Chris Wood (heart eye emoji). Prime Video Sport, I am Welsh (Welsh flag and upside down face emoji).”
      Ex-Liverpool defender Williams has won 36 senior international caps for Wales, scoring three goals.

      He was part of Robert Page’s squad which qualified for the World Cup in Qatar last year and played in all three group games against the USA, Iran and England.
      In total, Williams has made 16 appearances this season for club and country.
      Wrexham-born Williams scored for the Dragons in November’s Euro 2024 qualifying draw against Turkey in Cardiff which condemned Wales to the play-offs.
      Wales face Finland in a home semi-final on March 21 in Cardiff and should Page’s men win that tie then they will take on either Poland or Estonia for a spot in Germany next summer.

      Some of our previous winners this season landed amazing prizes having submitted their predictions in ten seconds through sheer gut instinct – it takes no time at all to play and it’s completely free.
      Check out our predictions for Matchweek 20 below…
      Manchester City vs Sheffield United
      Manchester City should claim maximum points against rock-bottom Sheffield United as they look to bridge the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool and Arsenal.
      The Cityzens made tough work of the reverse fixture back in August, but do boast a 100% record in their last six clashes against the South Yorkshire side.
      Though with six wins from six against Sheffield United since 2019, it’s rarely a rout.
      City have won 1-0 on three occasions and only twice by more than a two-goal margin. It could be a similar story with Chris Wilder back in charge and already showing huge improvement at Bramall Lane.
      Our Prediction: 2-0 to Manchester City

      Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United
      Both arrive after excellent results on Boxing Day.
      Nuno Espirito Santo claimed his first win since replacing Steve Cooper with a tremendous 3-1 victory over Newcastle at St James’ Park.
      Chris Wood bagged a hat-trick in that contest, while Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga were outstanding on the break, causing all sorts of problems.
      It looked to be further misery for Erik ten Hag’s side against Aston Villa, but goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund completed an outstanding second-half comeback.
      Nuno hasn’t fared too well against United in his managerial career, winning just two of his 10 clashes in all competitions – losing four of those.
      Furthermore, only Arsenal have conceded fewer goals away from home in the Premier League than Manchester United this season, and with spirits high — we think they could be set for a narrow victory.
      Our Prediction: 0-1 to Manchester United
      Chris Wood bagged a hat-trick against Newcastle on Boxing DayCredit: GETTY
      Fulham vs Arsenal
      Revenge will be on the menu for Arsenal, who drew this clash 2-2 at the Emirates Stadium despite boasting a man advantage earlier this season.
      And it looks as though Mikel Arteta’s side meet Fulham at the opportune moment.
      After a great spell that included two five-goal victories, Marco Silva’s side have lost their last three league matches without scoring a goal.
      The Gunners have also won on their last five visits to Craven Cottage by an aggregate score of 15-2.
      Our Prediction: 0-2 to Arsenal
      Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard is starting to motorCredit: GETTY
      Tottenham vs Bournemouth
      Believe it or not, but Bournemouth are the most in-form side in the Premier League having taken 12 points from a possible 15.
      Andoni Iraola’s side have won six of their last seven matches, scoring 3+ goals on four occasions during that spell.
      Tottenham aren’t doing badly themselves after collecting nine points from their last three against Everton, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle.
      Neither will be backing down in this contest, and that’s clear given three of the last five meetings have produced over 4.5 goals.
      Our Prediction: 2-2 draw

      Richarlison has settled into his role as No.9 at TottenhamCredit: GETTY
      Liverpool vs Newcastle
      Newcastle face a stiff task travelling to Anfield after a series of bad results.
      Eddie Howe’s Magpies look knackered after carrying a huge injury list into a busy fixture schedule. They arrive having lost successive matches to Luton Town and Nottingham Forest, and haven’t beaten Liverpool away since 1994.
      The same cannot be said for Liverpool, who are genuine title contenders having registered 42 points from 19 league games.
      Jurgen Klopp’s side returned to winning ways by beating Burnley 2-0 on Boxing Day, while they’ve only dropped four points at Anfield this campaign.
      Our Prediction: 2-0 to Liverpool

      Patrice Evra jokes ‘now I’m going to cry in the toilet’ as Liverpool stat ruins Man Utd’s shock Villa win for club icon

      by

      PATRICE EVRA joked he was going to end his Christmas by “crying in the toilet” after Manchester United’s win was ruined for him.The former full-back watched on last night as hs beloved Red Devils came from 2-0 down at half-time to beat Aston Villa 3-2 with a brilliant second half performance.
      Patrice Evra’s night at Old Trafford was hilariously ruined by Gabby Logan’s Liverpool statCredit: Amazon Prime

      The 42-year-old was working as a pundit for Amazon Prime Video as he witnessed his old team go behind after Villa’s never-seen-before free-kick tactic left the hosts bamboozled.
      It then got even worse as Leander Dendoncker doubled the visitors’ lead.
      United legend Evra was widely-mocked at the break when he claimed that he was “happy” with the United performance while slamming the wastefulness of the attackers.
      However, he was smiling again as Alejandro Garnacho grabbed a double while Rasmus Hojlund’s first Premier League goal sealed the points late on.

      Evra firstly had Gabby Logan and his fellow panellists, Eni Aluko and Roberto Martinez in stitches after a cheeky comment post-match.
      But his smile was turned upside down as they closed the show by looking at the Premier League table.
      Liverpool are in top spot after they ran out 2-0 winners at Burnley earlier in the day – and that led to some trolling by Logan on Evra.
      But the fun-loving Frenchman attempted to keep his composure after being accused of bias towards United by responding: “Credit to Liverpool and I think they are a serious contender to win the title.

      “We talk a lot about Manchester City and Arsenal, and of course City have two games in hand, but Liverpool are back in business.
      “They are top of the league, they have that consistency, they have a great manager – you see I’m being neutral.”
      But then he hilariously added: “Now I’m going to cry in the toilet.”
      Fan favourite Evra arrived at United from Monaco back in 2006 and he won a host of honours under Sir Alex Ferguson.
      He enjoyed five Premier League title triumphs during his eight years at Old Trafford as well as Champions League joy in 2008.
      Evra then had spells at Juventus, Marseille and West Ham before hanging up his boots in 2018 and going into the punditry world. More

      United went behind after Aston Villa’s never-seen-before free-kick tactic.

      United legend Evra was covering the game for Amazon Prime Video and he was widely-mocked at half-time for stating that he was “happy” with his old team’s performance.
      However, he was the one laughing at full-time after Alejandro Garnacho grabbed a double while Rasmus Hojlund’s first Premier League goal sealed the points late on.

      There were more smiles after the whistle as Evra, Eni Aluko and Roberto Martinez assessed the performance on the side of the Old Trafford pitch.
      Host Logan asked: “We must also pay homage to the rearguard action of United as well. There were some big moments there.”
      Evra burst into laughter as he responded: “Which rearguard action?”
      That led to sniggers from his colleagues while Logan looked visibly embarrassed, while Evra then continued: “When I’m with Gabby, she’s too posh. She speaks English, I’m French.”

      Logan then spoke about commentator Jon Champion using the word “condemnatory” – to which led to more baffled looks from the fun-loving Frenchman.
      “Condem what?,” he asked in bewilderment.
      That led to ever-professional Logan soon realising that it would be best to move on with the show to avoid any further red-faces while Aluko and Martinez struggled to hide their smirks.
      Fan-favourite Evra, 42, arrived at United from Monaco in 2006 and he went on to win a host of honours under Sir Alex Ferguson.
      He lifted the Premier League title five times during his eight years at Old Trafford as well as the Champions League in 2008.

      Jurgen Klopp tells Amazon Prime’s Dan Walker ‘I understand you have to talk every day’ in awkward live TV interview

      by

      JURGEN KLOPP was involved in an awkward live TV interview with presenter Dan Walker prior to Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Burnley.After several minutes of routine pre-match questions, the Reds boss was asked about the composition of his front three – Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo.

      It is the first time the trio have lined up alongside one another.
      Amazon Prime host Walker enquired about the decision to go with that forward line, while he also pointed out the reliance on Salah so far this season.
      Walker asked: “Can I ask you a little bit about your front three?
      “You’ve had a lot of dependence on Mo Salah with goals and assists, but Nunez and Gakpo playing in a front three.

      “You’ve not actually selected so far this season, have you, those three together up top?”
      To which an irked Klopp responded: “I don’t know. I said it the other day in the press conference, I understand you have to talk every day about football.
      “We are second in the table. We are in a better position than probably everybody expected us to be.
      “And then we start discussing the front three and they are not firing on all cylinders. There are more serious problems out there.”

      Walker then replied: “I’m not trying to catch you out.”
      Before Klopp added: “Oh, fine.”
      Salah has 16 goals in all competitions this season, along with seven assists.
      Diogo Jota is the next most prolific Reds star with eight goals, but Trent Alexander-Arnold is their leading assist maker with eight – while Nunez is level with Salah on seven.
      Klopp’s spiky response came after he took aim at Sky Sports’ Patrick Davison earlier this month, telling him “you over-estimate your importance” when referring to the media.
      Meanwhile, Liverpool beat Burnley thanks to goals from Nunez and Jota.
      The victory returns them to the top of the Premier League table, two points clear of Arsenal ahead of the Gunners’ clash with Brighton on Thursday. More
