Palace will be without two dangerous players against Chelsea. See what Pochettino has to say
Mauricio Pochettino has warned his Chelsea stars that Crystal Palace are still a formidable opponent to play against, even with the absences of some of their key players.
Palace will host Chelsea at Selhurst Park on Monday, but they’ll likely be without Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise.
The Blues will also be expected to pile up more misery on Roy Hodgson’s struggling side, but Pochettino doesn’t think it will be an easy game, nevertheless.
“Roy is my friend, I admire him and he is an unbelievable coach,” said Pochettino.
“He’s working really well and of course in football now when you lose one or two games in a row the pressure always arrives. But I have no doubt that he is going to be successful with Palace. I hope after our game!
“But it’s going to be difficult for us because as always we have some players dealing with injury. Of course they have two very good players out, but I think they have a squad that can deal with this situation.”
