Chelsea can clinch the English Premier League title on Sunday if the Blues can defeat Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. That hasn’t happened since March 17, 1982, when the two teams played in England’s second tier.
Chelsea has only lost three out of 50 matches this year, and just three points from its final four games will seal a first championship since 2010. They have weathered the loss of top-scorer Diego Costa with ease, plugging in veteran Didier Drogba over the last several games. The Blues will get an injury boost as Loic Remy, after a long absence, is expected to line up at center forward against Palace.
Crystal Palace could wrap up safety a with a shock win, but even in defeat are in an enviable position compared to the clubs below them. Chelsea won the reverse fixture in October.
In the UK, Sky Sports 1 has live coverage of the game starting from 12:30 PM BST (kick-off: 1:30 PM). In the States, NBCSN has live coverage from 7:30 AM Eastern (kick-off 8:30 AM).
