Chelsea make the short trip through London to Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon to face Crystal Palace.
BetVictor are offering new customers a £50 bonus when they bet £10 on tonight’s game.
Neither team has started the season the way they would have liked so far, which means both teams will be desperate to come away with three points on Saturday in a bid to kick off their season.
Chelsea followed last season’s third place by spending over £250m in the summer transfer window, to find themselves seventh in the league, on a negative goal difference and have already sacked their manager.
Thomas Tuchel lasted just seven games this season before defeat at Zagreb in the Champions League cost him his job, with former Brighton boss Graham Potter seen as the chosen one to take charge.
Potter has only played one game in charge of the Blues so far, in the Champions League in a 1-1 draw at home to Salzburg.
Patrick Vieira’s Palace side were given a tricky fixture list to start the season, playing Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City in their opening four games, so they would have been happy with the four points they picked up from those games.
However, the Eagles have since only managed to pick up two points in their subsequent games against Brentford and Newcastle, leaving them in 16th place, just two points above the bottom three.
Recent history does not favor the home side on Saturday, with Palace having lost the last nine meetings between the two teams.
Both previous meetings between Vieira and Potter have ended in draws, coming last season when the latter was in charge of Brighton.
Vieira lost all three games he managed against the Blues, although Potter never won against the Eagles in seven attempts.
