Chelsea vs Crystal Palace: TV channel, live stream, team news & preview

The Blues aim to bounce back from their midweek European disappointment by booking their spot in the FA Cup final this weekend

Chelsea face Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, with Thomas Tuchel's side hoping to put their Champions League exit to one side.

The Blues took Real Madrid to extra time on Tuesday evening before suffering a 5-4 aggregate defeat to end the defence of their Champions League title, and Sunday promises to be another challenging game against an in-form Palace side.

Ahead of the game, GOAL brings you everything you need to know, including how to watch, team news, odds and more.

Romelu Lukaku is 4/1 to be first goalscorer, while Wilfried Zaha is rated at 11/1.

Recent results & form

Chelsea's performance on Tuesday night was hugely impressive away to Real Madrid although elimination from the Champions League remains a bitter disappointment.

Sunday's game, however, is a chance for them to immediately bounce back, although an impressive Palace side will view it as an opportunity to inflict more misery on the beleaguered Blues.
