Bukayo Saka gets in behind but his cutback for Alexandre Lacazette is cut out.

First chance of the game falls Crystal Palace's way.

Wilfried Zaha feeds a pass into the in-form Michael Olise in the box, the former Reading man shifts it onto his right peg but drills a shot just past the far post.

Almost a scare for Arsenal as Aaron Ramsdale flaps at a cross he is worrying will dip under his bar but it's just wide.

It was a great ball in by Mo Salah. Brandon Williams has to do better – he can’t let him cut inside and get the ball in.

He has to score there, Tsimikas. It’s a great opportunity.

Wrong player in the right position!

Mohamed Salah turns provider this time and spots Kostas Tsimikas unmarked inside the six yard area but the defender puts it high over the bar.

Glorious chance wasted for Liverpool to take the lead.

Tremendous atmosphere at Selhurst Park but the blustery conditions is going to make is tricky for both sets of players this afternoon.

Southampton 0-0 Everton

Check for a potential Everton penalty for an Oriol Romeu handball.

A 100mph start at Anfield.

The ball breaks for Mo Salah inside the box but he cannot keep it down.

Norwich respond through Milot Rashica who finds the net in front of the Kop but up goes an offside flag straight away.

Anthony Gordon goes down in the box and wants a penalty. He stays down... until Everton have the ball back in the box but Richarlison's cross is blocked.

The corner comes to nothing.

Chelsea and Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has lifted a trophy in his last two games.

Bukayo Saka is almost in on goal from a long ball with the Brentford keeper off his line but it's headed away.

Who saw this coming?

Seconds on the clock and Alisson is forced to make a save.

Max Aarons delivers a swirling cross which the Liverpool keeper pushes to safety for a corner.

Six 3pm games surely = goals, goals, goals.

Ready for this? Away we go.

Chelsea have won their last eight Premier League games against Crystal Palace.

Palace have managed just two league victories in their past 13 matches and are winless in five.

But the Blues aren't in great form either. Their most recent Premier League victory, against Tottenham, was just a second win in eight top-flight matches.

Christian Pulisic has scored a career-best five goals in his five Premier League appearances against Crystal Palace, including three in two at Selhurst Park.

Romelu Lukaku is two short of 200 career league goals. He has scored eight goals in 12 Premier League matches against Crystal Palace.

Results-wise, Crystal Palace are on their worst run of the season, with no wins and only three points from their past five league games - but they are not playing that badly, and they are also not in any danger of relegation.

Chelsea have not played in the Premier League since 22 January, but they have had a week off since winning the Club World Cup and I think they will be refreshed and ready to go.

The Blues beat Palace 3-0 at Stamford Bridge at the start of the season and, although it will be closer this time, I think they will pick up another three points.

Prediction: 1-2
