Chelsea vs Crystal Palace LIVE Streaming: Chelsea and Crystal Palace meet at Wembley this afternoon in an all-London FA Cup semi-final.
Chelsea is fighting to keep their on-field campaign alive this weekend after a gallant but ultimately agonizing Champions League quarter-final elimination at the hands of Real Madrid in Spain, as the now three-horse battle to buy the club from Roman Abramovich enters its closing phases.
Tuchel’s side, on the other hand, will have a stiff challenge from city rivals Palace as they attempt to reach their 16th FA Cup final overall and fifth in the last six years.
The Eagles have had a fantastic debut season under Patrick Vieira, with their style of play having been transformed and a top-half finish within reach.
This season, they’ve stolen four points from both Manchester City and Arsenal, demonstrating that playing at their best in crucial games isn’t a problem.
Palace is looking to make their third FA Cup final appearance and first since 2016 when they lost in extra time to Manchester United after a seven-match undefeated run was shattered by Leicester.
After a thrilling 3-2 victory over Man City, the winner of this match will face Liverpool in the final.
